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? Harry G

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.

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.

I have a logitech MX500 and I don't have to use the "emulate3buttons" option to have three button functionality. My 3rd/middle button works fine without needing this option set. To my understanding the only time you need to emulate3buttons is A) if you have 2 button mouse and want to have access to the 3rd button function, or B) if for some strange reason your 3 button isn't working properly then it is a possible workaround, Cheers, Curtis. ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+W4rj7WVLiDrqeksRAsrYAJwMqHIFifyGCtar2djPO2EeZT35VQCdEjcg CJDrtqTf7HOu3RaptpoDWrA= =FVeV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I probably shouldn't be chiming in as new as I am, but I had a similar problem until Sunday. I had edited the config files without success. Then, from the KDE control panel, I used Yast to edit the mouse properties. After I rebooted, it worked perfectly. I'm not going to pretend to understand what happened under the covers, but my mouse wheel did work afterward.
I have added this line in XF86Config: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Now the scroll wheel of my WACOM Graphire2 USB mouse used on the tablet works. However the direction of scrolling is reverse to how it works in Windows, as well as other Windows systems I work on. That confuses me big time. Is there way to reverse the scroll direction? -- Frits Wüthrich Pentaxianado

You are correct. The following are some of the contents of my file /etc/X11/XF86Config: 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 I tried changing the ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to "6 7", but it doesn't scroll at all then. Could the following be the problem? I have a lot of mice listed before the InputDevice settings. They are: InputDevices "/dev/psaux" InputDevices "/dev/logibm" InputDevices "/dev/sunmouse" InputDevices "/dev/atibm" InputDevices "/dev/amigamouse" InputDevices "/dev/atarimouse" InputDevices "/dev/inportbm" InputDevices "/dev/gpmdata" InputDevices "/dev/mouse" InputDevices "/dev/usbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/adbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/input/mice" InputDevices "/dev/input/event0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer1" InputDevices "/dev/pointer2" InputDevices "/dev/pointer3" EndSection Could this cause some confusion?

I don't like the looks of those "emulate" items. They should only be necessary when you don't have the things they emulate. I would try removing them if I were you. I can't find any details of your model of mouse on the net, but it's worth a try. I think your "scroll down only" problem stems from the "emulatewheelbutton" line. But try removing all of them.

I assume you have a mouse with thress buttons and one whell. You should try this:

You don't have to emulate a third button if your mouse has one.
Could the following be the problem? No.

It has two buttons, but the wheel acts like a button. I guess it is then considered a three button mouse, correct? Harry G

Anders is correct. Unless your running the old XF86 3.3..x server then most likely your configuring the wrong file. The file you mention is indeed in /etc and not /etc/X11 directory. You need to go one more directory deeper, that being /X11 and then edit your XF86Config file. The one in the directory above the /etc/X11 is not read IIRC. So, this may explain why your not have any success in getting the wheel to work - the file your changing doesn't matter. Sorry, that one slipped by me. Again, the file you want is "/etc/X11/XF86Config and not "/etc/XF86config". ^ ^ ^ Cheers, Curtis. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+W41X7WVLiDrqeksRAgAuAJ4g3t0kWUNrjBL/OC3vEE6VCBcYkgCcDiFj EtGn5fcoUeoTXfyPZwS2d6k= =ywLs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
