Still no mouse wheel ...

[GentooBee]

Hello there,

this is the last piece of hardware that still doesn't function: my mouse's wheel.

I've tried to add all kinds of options to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but my mouse wheel just doesn't work:

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

Are there any other options or values for ZAxisMapping (apart from "4 5") that could make sense?

I am using a Fujitsu Siemens Dual Channel Wireless Optical Mouse, model P2402.

Cheers,

Jacob

you could check with xev if the buttons are working in X at all.
Usually it is 4 5 where the scroll wheel is, but you could try 6 7 too.

I have exactly the same and it works fine here.
Are you sure you enabled all the needed USB drivers in the kernel?
Does your scrollwheel work in Windows or so, maybe it's yust broken?
Try /dev/mice/mouse0?

Hello there,

yes, my mouse wheel does work in WinXP. It has previously worked in Fedora Core too. I launched xev and all buttons work. I replaced "4 5" with "6 7" and my mouse wheel still doesn't work.

Allee Jef Klak, oe ist manneke?

What is the link between PS/2 mice and USB? Anyway, I compiled my kernel with all possible USB modules.

Any further ideas?

Cheers,

Jacob

Here's the mouse part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

[GentooBee]

Hello there,

I tried:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

And still no success. I changed the number of buttons and tried "4 5". I still can not use the scroll wheel.

More ideas?

Cheers,

Jacob

Hello there,

I'm still trying:

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "4"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

EndSection

No go ... By the way, I do not have a Logitech mouse, nor do I have 4 buttons.

Hoe, ken ik u ofzo?

@ your problem: hm seems like something went wrong while compiling xorg then, as your axis doesn't work correctly, I really can't figure something else... The config should be that way...

Hi,

I'm also had trouble trying to get an optical USB Logitech Wheel Mouse working with xorg.

Here's what worked for me:

if you have 3 buttons (and scroll wheel) you need to specify option buttons = 5. zaxis mapping will be 4 and 5 (3 is the mousewheel click thing)

It's probably a misconfiguration in the kernel. I had a few problems with getting it to work, but once I changed the config for my kernel, my mouse started to work as it should...

look in the config for EHCI, OHCI and UHCI. I've enabled all three of them, althouh I'm sure I only need one. I just don't wanna compile my kernel again atm, since I've done it abou 20 times yesterday cause of vesafb crap.


btw you might also wanna run xev as someone told you, and see what comes in the console when you scroll your wheel.


edit: bleh... I should start reading before I post...
sorry for the double post, but at least your post got bumped
