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:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

                                                                                                 

# Identifier and driver

                                                                                                 

    Identifier  "Mouse1"

    Driver      "mouse"

    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"

    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

    Option "ZAxisMapping"       "4 5"



EndSection

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.
