Thread: wheel mouse

  1. #1

    wheel mouse

    In the X86 config file I added 2 lines added 2 lines for the wheel support:
    # Pointer section
    # ************************************************** ********************

    Section "Pointer"
    Protocol "PS/2"
    Device"/dev/mouse"

    # For wheel support - can not be used with Emulate3Buttons
    #
    #by elovkoff
    Buttons 5
    ZAxisMapping 4 5


    # When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
    # the following line.
    # Protocol"Xqueue"

    # Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice
    # BaudRate9600
    # SampleRate150

    # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
    # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
    # Emulate3Buttons
    # Emulate3Timeout 50

    # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
    # ChordMiddle

    EndSection

    I restarted X and no wheel support still.....

    Any ideas why?
    thx.

    P.S> BTW - is there any way to make X re-read configuration from X86config without reloading X?

    thx

    Re: wheel mouse

    here is what I got and my thumb wheel works (well, vertically, not horzontallly -- that is effort, which I lack alot of these days)

    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Mouse0"
            Driver      "mouse"
            Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
            Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
            Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
            Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection

    That is the same I have, and mine works fine too. 'cept I have to use /dev/psaux, because my /dev/mouse is constantly being kidnapped by alien beings from outer space. :

    Mine are too now so you can be happy that it is not just you!

    I think that it is because of the badly ended code section byt GOP Schotty's last post in this thread.
