 |
|
I've been running Gentoo for about 5 or 6 months now, and the only thing that's a thorn in my side is the inability to use the mouse wheel to scroll. I can only use it for selecting text and pressing it again to paste it.
Can anyone help? |

| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
|
The ZAxisMapping Option added in /etc/X11/xorg.conf should do the trick. |

Did that, and it works, somewhat.
I can't scroll down that well. |

Well cant you change the "4 5" options. I'm guessing they control the speed. |
