Re: [expert] mouse wheel and tv card problems

You have to modify the XF86Config-4 (in /etc/X11) file by hand as I found out on my laptop. There was a thread on this around 12-12-02. I got helped by several on the list but also had to do some searching of my own. I have a laptop and I wanted my touchpad AND USB optical scroll mouse to be functional on boot. Here are the relevant bits of mine (if I remember correctly):

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "USB Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
*I believe send core events sends the usb mouse output through the standard mouse output.

My mouse layout looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "USB Mouse"
        DSectionriver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option        "SendCoreEvents"    "true"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option          "Buttons"               "5"

Even if you don't want to use 2 types of mice simultaneously, my mouse config details should help you since mine scrolls just fine. Ideas list??

Hope this helps.

Hello all,
I performed a clean install of MDK9 and now the mouse wheel does not
behave properly anymore.  The wheel used to nicely scroll window
contents.  Now except for Galeon, it performs page up, page down
operations.  Also in programs like pan with multipane program windows,
the pane with the mouse cursor is no longer automatically activated. 
How do I restore the original behavior?

A second side effect is my stb tv card (bt878) stopped working, and the
tv card configuration utility does not seem to work.  What can be done?

Thanks for any help!
