Hi,

I know that this problem shows up quite often here and I'm quite sure I read most of the posts related, but never found a solution...
does anybody know how to set up the wheel of an Logitech IFeel Mouseman...
XF86conf looks like this on my system:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection


allready tried some other combinations without success...
basically the mouse has three buttons and one wheel

when I used the first wheel mouse about 5 years ago I couldn't imagine that this feature would ever get so important to me...
hope theres help out there
bye and thanks

I'll guess you have tried "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Two suggestions:
  • Try specifying the number of buttons on your mouse. Count the buttons on your mouse (including the middle button), then add 2 (that's your mouse wheel up/down actions). Then specify it in XF86Config, here's mine:
    Code:
    Option    "Buttons"    "6"
  • Maybe the wheel (Z) axis is not on buttons 4/5 (although that's very unlikely).
  • Try using "IMPS/2" instead of "MouseManPlusPS/2"
