But whenever I change the protocol from PS/2 to IMPS/2 then I shut down and restart X my mouse flips out and the cursor flys to the upper right hand corner of the screen. Any thoughts on how to get it to work. -- Nic [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- Nic [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] wheel mouse
Okay. Here's where I am. I've read through the readme and tried to make the required changes. But whenever I switched from the PS/2 to IMPS/2 in the XFConfig and restarted KDE my mouse stops working properly (moving and clicking on its own). I don't know if I forgot to do something, did something wrong or what. Any Ideas? -- Nic [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] wheel mouse
Thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested and it did work - to a certain degree. Now when I spin the wheel the cursor moves up and down on the screen, Is that all that it can do or is something else to get the wheel to act as it does in windows?
