You know, back when I'd started in RH 5.0 (& even now in
lm7.2 to a degree), editing XFree86 files was very intimidating.
If you feel this way as well, you might find it easier to use the
gui in drakconf. Try either the M$ wheel mouse or the Logitech
mouse setting. Back in RH 5.0 & 6.0, I'd only had the M$ option,
& it worked in the few apps where the wheel was supported.
One of the two will likely work fine for you.
