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. Eagerly awaiting being able to
scroll through documents without moving my arms/wrist,
Dan
