I had the same thing happen to me when I hooked up my Mandriva 10.1 machine to
a Zonet KVM without shutting down first (probably not supposed to do that).
Next time I rebooted, it fixed itself, though.
But there is something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that controls the mousewheel
interpretation. Look for a section like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
I believe it's the ZAxisMapping that controls the mouse wheel interpretation.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what numbers you need. The Mandriva install
picked these numbers for me, and I'm not sure exactly what they mean. You
might find something in the newbie archives. Or maybe an X expert here can be
of more help.
