Scroll Wheel of Mouse does not work

Gentoo 2004.2
Kernel 2.6.8, Xorg-x11-6.7.0

I use a USB mouse, and the scroll wheel of that mouse does not perform the scroll function. But it works as the center button (for paste).

The scroll wheel of my PS2 mouse has the exactly same problem

Is there any idea for this?

Thanks

You should probably post your X configuration. Did you set the ZAxisMapping for your mouse InputDevice?

your X config is in :

/etc/X11

for xorg :

xorg.conf

for Xfree

XF86Config.conf

find your mouse configuration e.g:

I went into the /etc/X11, there is only a xorg.conf.example file, there is no xorg.conf file. Do I need to copy the example file to the xorg.conf?
And there are a lot of contents inside that file? What should I do with them?

Yes, I use GNOME 2.6 Desktop. Everything is fine.
Am I wrong with some thing?

Here are all the files I have inside /etc/X11

. chooser.sh proxymngr sysconfig xkb
.. dm rstart twm xloadimagerc
Sessions fs serverconfig wmconfig xorg.conf.example
X gdm startDM.sh xdm xserver
app-defaults lbxproxy starthere xinit xsm

Did you install xorg.conf into another directory? If you don't run xorgconfig as root, it will save it to your /home/USER folder.
