Getting 3rd mouse buttong to work as a scroll button?
I have a nice shiny new laptop with a touchpad and an interesting button arrangement. It has the 2 main buttons (left and right) and between them it has a button best described as a rocker switch button. The idea of the button is that it functions like a scroll wheel. You press the top and you should get a scroll up action, you press the bottom and you get a scroll down action. Well in theory anyway (supposedly it works like this in Windows, but I haven't installed Windows on this machine and don't plan to). It currently works as a middle mouse button if you press the down side of the rocker button. So... any direction in what I can do to get this button working as a scroll button/wheel? The "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" thing didn't work C.

I'm afraid I can only give you some encouragement. My mouse scroll wheel seems to work. At least it worked when I tried it on your e-mail. I have no idea how to get it to work, though. Don Henson

Is the mouse described in XF86Config as "imps/2" ? It would need to be to have the wheel supported. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
