/Most/ of this config was autocreated for me by "XFree86 -configure", but I had to add the ZAxisMapping by hand. The following InputDevice section can be added directly to your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
However, I see a number of other responses with alternate InputDevice sections. You might want to try them all, based on your specific config. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Hope that helps, -Matt On Thu, 2002-09-19 at 16:18, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > What is the best way to configure this?
