I tried /dev/pointer0 in there as well and nothing, I have no clue what went wrong on the mouse, and it is driving me practically insane!!! If ANYONE has any insight on what my problem may be, I would greatly appreciate it... For more info, I am running X Server 4.0.2 on a general ps2 3 button wheel mouse. Thanks in advance. ~Robert Kris Davies Ole Kofoed Hansen wrote:

Ok here is a VERY Odd problem. I went out today and got myself a new Video Card. Came home, and backed up my old /etc/X11/XF86Config file and set-up everything with SaX2.

Now I made sure to set the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" and started back up, and the went to use my wheel... It didnt work

Here is a snippet of the InputDevice

Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection

Have you tried with the Device set to "/dev/pointer0". That is what I have for my USB mouse, and it works here. My serial mouse is /dev/pointer1, and I can let the 2 mice fight over where the pointer should go. ;-)

Gave that a run and still no luck... Hrm... I have even tried changing the imps/2 that SaX2 added in to IMPS/2 with 0 luck :o( This all started when I installed my new Matrox G450, is there anything with the GLX drivers that can mess up the wheel mouse maybe? I am at a loss, and I cant even remember how I got by with out the wheel before! Ben, have you had any experience with the Wheel mice just dying after changing video cards out? I mean I have gone so far as to going to the latest imwheel, running xev to see if the wheel is even being recognized by X and it dont even show, all 3 other buttons work fine, but nothing for the wheel. I have even gone so far as to open my old XF86Config file, copy the whole mouse section and pasting it into the new Config file with no luck. If I remember correctly (This is the downfall for never documenting what I do the first few times of getting something to work), I popped on the mouse, changed the XF86Config file to IMPS/2 ZAxisMapping to 4 5 and Buttons 3 and went in to X (Gnome/Enlightenment mix) and it worked, no need for imwheel at all. But trying it with IM wheel on or Off does no good. and my poor desk has a perminant print of my forehead the last 2 days!

Hi,

I don't pretend to understand your problem, but in case it helps, here is my working config :

Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/pointer0" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection

In the sdb it says IMPS2, that's what works for me: SuSE 7.1, XFree86 4.0.2, G400 DH + Xinerama, 2 different screen sizes, Logitech Cordless Wheel on Intellimouse protocol, imwheel added at the bottom of .xinitrc. Don't forget the test screen in SaX2, try using the wheel on the info window. Saves time.

This all started when I installed my new Matrox G450, is there anything with the GLX drivers that can mess up the wheel mouse maybe?

If you turned the 3D fancy stuff on, I'd try switching it off and see.

I am at a loss, and I cant even remember how I got by with out the wheel before!

Did you have a look at your .xresource, .xdefaults, .xinitrc and the like? I managed to mess that bunch up by accidentaly running the wrong users .xinitrc :0/, and got rather interesting results all over the place, i.e. they matter. HTH, Gudmund
