Scroll Mouse+Linux
 

On the old board, there was a thread on how to get a scroll mouse to work in linux. I have a generic mouse that I bought at walmart awhile back and just recently installed Slackware.
I've dinked around with gpm and that hasn't given me much for results, maybe a few more headaches but that's about it. I've also done a search online and that hasn't been to helpful.
So, anyone got ideas? Thanks.

Edit your XF86Config file (or xorg.conf, depending on which XWindows-clone you use). Both conf files are usually found in /etc/X11

Look for the mouse settings section.. it'll look something like this:
What you want is the "ZAxisMapping" line. Add that to the same area in your config file, restart your X server, and you should have no problems.

Couldn't have said it better myself...
