I have a IBM RO07UO wireless mouse, which I got for only $19.00 at Comp USA (clearence item. They want more room for M$ Hardware).
It installed fine under Suse 8.1, but it only scrolls down with the wheel, not up.
How can I fix this?

To enable the wheel on the mouse you need to enter an option flag in the XF86Config file. Using the Konsole. type "sux", the type the root password. Then cd /etc/X11 Then pico XF86Config Now you'll be in the editor "pico" for the XF86Config file for your X server. Using the up or down keys and/or page up or page down. Find this sections: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection The line your interested in is: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" This enables the wheel. On some models it may require it to be" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" But most in most case not. Don't forget to include the (") quotes in the line just like it is (in many case you'll see quotes that are used to reference/highlight a comment/word but aren't intended to be quoted). Once your done editing it, hit "crtl+O" to write the output to the file, and then "crtl+X" to exit pico. Log out of kde and back in and you should be set. If not repost.
