[newbie] mouse wheel issue
Hello list, I have mouse a wheel problem. It won't scroll up or down. Here is the entry in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection This should be working. Since it isn't working I have tried to configure it using the mouse section in the 'Configure your Computer menu-Hardware I have tried all of them listed and it only shows the mouse wheel moving in the down direction -- no matter whether I am scrolling up or down. The mouse is a standard two button mouse with scroll wheel. It is the mouse of an HP Pavilion a250y computer. No other brand markings are on it. Thanks, -Jason __ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!
