I'm not sure if this works with the optical mouse but I know it definitely
works with the MS (Intellimouse) Cordless Wheel Mouse:
Install imwheel, its on your cds. In your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file make
the following changes so that it looks like this:
# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection
Be sure to comment out the "Emulate..." lines as above.
In /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc - add the following line to the bottom of the
file:
imwheel
Copy /etc/X11/imwheelrc to ~/.imwheelrc
Log out of X then restart X and the scroll wheel should work.
Before you edit your files you should make backup copies. Also, a lot of
people will disagree with using imwheel because it has caused some people
grief - in my case, the scroll wheel just won't work without imwheel.
