Dear listmembers, using a "logitech optical mouse" at the PS/2 port of my computer (Tyan Tiger 2460 SMP), the mouse wheel does not work any more with SuSE 9.3 (but *did* perfectly with the identical mouse at the same computer using SuSE 9.2 + xorg 6.8.2). (I only upgraded the software and did not change any hardware!). Reconfiguration using sax2 -r doesn't help. The mouse wheel is disfunctional within sax2; I do not know whether this is a X issue or a sax2 issue. Moving this mouse to the USB-connector (it is usually connected to the PS/2 port via an adapter) the wheel is functional. summarizing: mouse (PS2)+SuSE9.3 -> no mouse wheel mouse (PS2)+SuSE9.2+xorg 6.8.2 -> mouse wheel functional mouse (USB+SuSE9.3) -> mouse wheel functional however, I need the mouse to run on the PS2/port because I need both USB-ports for other purposes. Are there any options to fix this? Modifying the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no impact. Many thanks for any advice, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <��__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------
Dear listmembers, I found the "bug" with my ps2-mouse. Some good hearted peace of software added "psmouse.proto=bare" to /boot/grub/menu.lst without asking - and naturally without explanation. As I did not find any hint to what that could mean (in the "Administrationshandbuch"), I was stuck with my problem. Googling for "wheel not working + suse" led to /dev/null, too. After I found out I googled for psmouse.proto, et voila - but that's not the way it is meant to be. It would make sense to add some information to the manual. Take care Dieter Jurzitza Am Montag, 25.

Speaking of mice, one addition I would love to see is adding the Gentoo patch to Xorg which adds support for the evdev mouse protocol. This allows me to take advantage of my Logitech MX1000 USB mouse and support 7 buttons. I have the patches if anyone at SuSE is interested and so far they've worked quite well. With this I can use xmodmap to map the various buttons to the way I want. Unfortunately the X11 protocol is limited to 7 buttons, so I cannot use all of them :( -Aaron

I'd like to have it -- Hans hanskrueger@adelphia.net
Try mine. Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "7" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection I hade a microInnovations dual wheele mouse horizontal and verticle scrolling. Now I have one with a trackball in place of the two wheels. This works in 9.1 and 9.2 If its only one wheel then: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" reply to the list.
