There is a good option on these forums named "Search"  You can get answer quicker if you find a thread with a solution.
Anyway:
Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/xorg.conf (depends on your x11 implementation). Find a section which corresponds to your mouse (Section CorePointer) and add
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Look there, in the Section CorePointer.

Oops! You need to locate InputDevice section for your mouse (there are at least two - for mouse and keyboard). Mine looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection |
Your protocol may differ

The same as you chose the first time (your mouse worked,as you mentioned in your first post). After the file is generated, edit it by hand and add "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to the InputDevice section (xf86config won't allow you to chose wheel support).

Change your xorg.conf
remove the "InputDevice" section for your mouse (not the one for the keyboard!)
add this:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
|
My Microsoft wheelmouse works with this.
Also, is your user in the wheel group? (should it be?). Type "groups" in a terminal to figure out if you are.

Why should that matter?
*edit: OK IMPS/2 is not only for ps/2 mice. Try it for your USB mouse. Mine works...

Actually when reading from /dev/input/mouseX and /dev/input/mice in 2.6 the kernel gets input events from all kinds of input devices (touchscreens, PS/2, serial and USB mice, etc) and converts them into cooked PS/2 data. Actually application can request either bare PS/2, Intellimouse PS/2 or Explorer PS/2 flavor. Therefore anyone using /dev/input/mice in their XF86COnfig/Xorg.conf should set protocol to "ExplorerPS/2" when using 2.6.

|

frustrating 
Ok... I tried the following to get the mouse wheel to work. I have a plain logitech usb wheel mouse. Mouse works fine except wheel
tried all combinations of ohci ehci and uhci as modules.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows Logitech USB Mouse
running linux-2.6.8.1-ck7 as my kernel
my XF86Config-4 (cuz i have radeon 9600 pro) has the following for mouse section
| Code: | Section "inputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
Out of ideas... i can't find my answer in the forums. |

The "wheel" group has nothing to do with the mouse wheel. It's for the "su" command.

Could you please try adding:
Option "Buttons" "5"
to your InputDevice section. Default is 3 and I am not sure if ZAxisMapping modifies button setting as well.
