Hi. I know this is an already well discussed argument, but I still have a problem which is very pestering. Some time ago, many of you tried to help me making the scrollweel of my mouse working, with some good results. The problem is that since then, with this configuration I continue to have the scrollwheel working in some sessions, and then not working in others. I read many threads and tried some different options, but I have no results. This is what I have in my xorg.conf:

Code:

    Identifier   "Mouse1"
    Driver   "mouse"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    #Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"


With the same configuration, on another pc, a usb mouse is perfectly working.
Do you know something else I could try to make it work steadily?
Thanks for anything.

This may or may not help, but my config is as follows:
Code:
   
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons"    "7"
    Option "ButtonNumber"       "7"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"       "6 7"

Mine uses the scroll wheel and the side buttons for forward and back in webpages.
Anyway, in order for any of it to work, I have to run:
Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

Maybe in your case:
Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5"

Just a shot in the dark :)

Runnning the command you gave me there is no difference. Instead :) , I have another problem now, before solving that of the scroll. After running that command the mouse buttons inverted themselves. Maybe that's because I have left-hand mode activated. How can I change it back?
Is there any other way to understand why the scroll is not working? I had no problems with this scroll with any other Linux distributions before.
Thanks for anything.

If you still have problems with your mousewheel, maybe this post can help you?

I still have the problem that the scroll only runs about 1 time out of 3 reboots. The solution I'm adopting is: I reboot 3 times average to have it working correctly. Then, since my pc is up 24/24, I'm ok for some weeks :). I'm trying the solution of that thread now, I didn't have that Logitech busmouse installed. As soon as I can reboot the system I'll try to see if it works constantly, in which case I'll add the solved tag.
Thanks man for the advice.

No, always problems. It seems this problem cannot be solved. Now I reboot four times and still the scroll is not working. Fed up now :). Any advice is always appreciated.
Thanks guys.
