Sounds a bit embarrasing, but I am having trouble getting my mousewheel to work.
Works under FreeBSD and did under slackware, however, either of both configuration files (which are identical except the mouse part) does not work.
It is a cordless logitec mouse (original, no oem and the "asymetric" one) , however, the only way to make it functioning (without the wheel, that is) is to use "PS/2" protocol.
Device is /dev/mouse (which is symlinked to psaux)
IntelliMousePS/2 - as used with slackware, if I remeber correctly, does not produce a controllable mouse pointer and "auto" as protocol does crash the X server (no input device found).
MouseManPlusPS/2 does not work, either.
zaxismapping "4 5" is of course set. Oh yes, and it's XFree4.2.
Anyone any Idea what could do the trick ? |

The protocol should be IMPS/2, you can also specify the number of buttons you have (3 btn mouse + wheel = 5 buttons).
Here an example:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
I have 5 buttonss + wheel hence the 7 buttons option above, change it to fit your mouse.

| You may also want to try /dev/input/mice for the mouse device along with IMPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2 |
