RE: [SLE] Suse 7.0 Install problem

I was in the same boat!
Just got a nice Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel for xmas.
Thought I'd use the USB interface, and it took me ages to get it all running. In the end this link got it working in console mode for me
http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/usbmice64.html
Then for the X configuration I worked it out as
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection
Then to finish things off I added the following to my .xinitrc file
imwheel &
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 6 3 5 4"
You might need to play around with the xmodmap to get your wheel working perfectly.
