Context:
Notebook with pentium 4, the very last build of gentoo compiled from scratch,
kernel 2.6.10, kde 3.3.2. Mousepad and usb-mouse.
To my great surprise when I started xdm with kde-3.3.2 enabled it all worked
smoothly **WITHOUT** any xorg.conf file. Furthermore, again to my surprise,
the automatic X set up choses a video resolution for my notebook that I
wouldn't have imagined before: 1450x1050 (in the control center, display
item)!!!
A marginal problem is left. The wheel in my usb-mouse (and in my ps/2 mouse in
the docking station at office) aren't detected at all. In my previos X and
kde installation I had a somewhat complex xorg.conf file inherited from an
xfree.conf file with - among many other - this two sections that solved this
problem (see the "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" option):
<SNIP>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
<\SNIP>
Because I don't want to "disturb" the automatic detection and setting of my
graphic hardware accomplished by gentoo, could you suggest the **slimmest and
complete ** xorg.conf file that I could introduce to solve the problem of the
mouse wheel?
Ciao
Vittorio
