Hello, I've been suffering under Linux without the use of my mouse wheel for some time now, and would like to do something about it. I've got an IBM Thinkpad 560x and a two-button PS/2 Microsoft Intellimouse. I searched linux-laptop.org for my model, but the two references to my laptop were both written a long time ago and neither mentioned wheel mouses.
I tried using the program "mdetect," but it didn't seem to do anything useful... Relevant lines in my "XF86Config-4" are: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection I spent a good time playing around with the protocol option and the CorePointer option before getting annoyed, and realizing I was wasting my time and that there must be a better way. To be honest, I'm not sure which of the devices is my PS/2 mouse and which is the internal eraser-style mouse. When I start my laptop up without the PS/2 mouse plugged in, the internal works, and vice versa, ie they don't both function at the same time unless I plug in the PS/2 after I've booted up. That's all I can think of right now.
