Help needed: scroll wheel on mouse doesn't work

Post by Jam » Wed, 24 Oct 2001 14:06:18



i'm using Enlightenment 0.16.5 on Gnome,
XFree86 4.1.0, on Peanut Linux 9.0,
with an A4 Tech WinEasy Mouse.

i followed the instructions on
Mouse Support in XFree86
http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/mouse.html
regarding mouse support,
and the vertical scroll wheel works in Eterm,
but not in Netscape.

does anyone know how to resolve this?

thanks in advance...

Netscape (at least before version 6), unlike Opera, Konqueror and Mozilla,
does not support a mouse wheel natively.  See the following page (scroll
down) for the solution, which did work for me.

1. optical mouse scroll wheel doesn't work

Hi,
Just bought a no-name "4D Optical Mouse" (5-button) and tried different
configuration under Linux. The best I could achieve was a behavior like a
normal 3-button mouse. The section in my XF86Config looks like this:
-------------------------
Section "Pointer"
  Protocol              "MouseManPlusPS/2"
  Device                "/dev/psaux"
  SampleRate            60
  BaudRate              1200
EndSection
------------------------
The mouse is now connected to the PS/2 port. It can also be connected to an
USB, which I tried, but then it works only on the console. :-(

Any idea how to get the wheel button and even the both side buttons to work?
I run SuSE-Linux 7.2 and KDE 2.2.1.
