My mouse is an HP scroll mouse with the wheel acting as a 3rd button. Suse setup the mouse as psaux and it works well as a 3 button mouse. The only problem is the wheel doesn't work as a scroller - only a 3rd button. the rc.config defines it as MOUSE="/dev/psaux" and /dev/mouse is a link to /dev/psaux
How can I set this up as a scroll mouse?
I don't know how to do it in the console, but in X it is rather simple. I added the following to the InputDevice section for my mouse in /etc/X11/XF86Config: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" I don't run imwheel, so the mouse doesn't scroll in all programs, but in KDE2 just about everything understands the wheel. It even scrolls horizontally. (Just move the pointer over the scrollbar.) The only place where I miss the scroll function is in the dialogue boxes of Bluefish (which is not a KDE program, but built on GTK). Regards Ole
