It's used to config all the devices that are used for the X server in order to get your stuff like the keyboard, mouse, vid card, monitor and resolutions set. Also the /dev/mouse, /dev/input/mouse* is the device protocal. And of course the /lib/modules/<kernel-version> has the kernel device drivers, but I would muck around with this unless you know what your doing. Perhaps you might be a little more specific and lets us know if and what problem your having?

I can't get my dang wheel mouse to scroll up, only down. Here are the contents of my file for the mouse section: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "4" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection What have I done wrong?

Those two lines don't look right to me. Certainly, if you have a 3 (or more) button mouse, you don't need "emulate3Buttons" on, and I've never seen "emulatewheelbutton" before, you if you have a real niddle button ("under" the wheel) then you don't need to emulate it. Probably, this second emulation is "stealing" the "up" clicks and diverting them to an emulated middle button (button 4 is mapped to both the z axis setting (i.e. scrolling) and to this emulation).

I commented (#) out the two lines you mentioned, but no change. I will try commenting out the emulate wheel button option and see what I get. Harry g
