you could also just read the XF86Config-4 file in your /etc/X11
directory. The pointer section should look something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Zaxismapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
I use a usb mouse so my "device" section refers to a usbmouse, if yours
is a ps/2 mouse, the device section should refer to either /dev/mouse or
/dev/psaux. Basically just leave it as whatever it is. For mouse wheel
to work the "Protocol" must be "IMPS/2" and you there must be a line
Option "Zaxismapping" "4 5"
just log in as su and start up a konqueror session, navigate to that
directory and make the appropriate changes. To open the file in
editable format you must right click on it and choose a text editor you
are comfortable with. Once you are done, save, close the editor, vlose
konqueror, exit your existing session and restart X. If you use the
graphical login thingy it is an option in the shutdown list. Otherwise
merely logging out and back in will take care of it.
No need to reboot for something like this.
Good luck!
