When I installed SuSE 7.2 the program installed a regular 3 button mouse. The wheel works as a center button but in most situations the wheel also works for scrolling. You might give it a try. Lloyd Becker pete atkinson wrote:

I have a Linux Box powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 which works great except for mouse wheel!! I tried Protocol "IMPS/2" in XF86Config-4 but my mouse goes mad :-( why ???? this pc with this mouse (Logitech M-S48a) works fine with Mandrake 8.1 and Xfree 4.1.0.... why not on my SuSE ? help please!!

I sympathise, I had all sorts of problems with a Micro$oft Intellimouse with a wheel... I do admit I gave up and swapped with my Windoze box and now have a Packard Bell Optical Wheelmouse.. However, that too caused problems so I basically chopped things around and got a stable display - all bar the IMPS/2 bit. I then changed this on its own and blow me down it worked.. Not very scientific but..

Anyway, here is my /etc/XF86Config section which may help...

Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "sw_cursor" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection

Good luck !

Pete

I tried all your "XF86Config" w/o suxess :-(. Now I think about a "no hardware support" for my particular type of mice. But it works on MDK 8.1 !!! And I want to use SuSE !!! :-(((((

thx all... www.linux-knowledge-portal.org/en/ after this - hardware - (07.05.2001) Configuration of the X-Server with SaX or SaX2 - ok :) next step - sdb- search keyword - mice

Can you tell us what this rodent has ? Is it a wheel mouse, USB ?, cordless (even tho' shouldn't make too much difference).

PS/2 Logitech wheel mouse (pilot+?) ... model M-S48a... OEM i think ... black logitech logo on it...

What happens when you install it as a 2 or 3 button PS/2 as opposed to a IMPS/2 ? When I had my troubles with IMPS/2 if you were careful you could just about get the cursor to where you wanted it. Too quick and it flew back to the bottom left hand corner......

It works great with protocol "ps/2" (without wheel, of course) but it has exactly the behaviour you wrote with protocol "imps/2". What does that behaviour mean? thx g.
