I have my Slackware 10 newly installed and im having a problem with my scrollmouse. can anyone help me configuring it? thanks.

It's a PS/2 mouse.

Slackware doesn't automatically enable your scroll wheel ... at least the last time I used a GUI in Slack. You'll need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the section with your mouse settings to something like this:

Code:

  Identifier	"Mouse1"
  Driver "mouse"
  Option "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"
  Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
  Option "Device"   "/dev/mouse"

You'll probably have to tweak to suit ... but that is where you setup your scroll wheel.

Basta Slack (although this works with any setup using Xorg), I'm the man with the plan, lol.
