USB Mouse Wheel Problem
Posted: 2009/12/10 17:58:32
Hello,
I have installed CentOS 5.4 as a VM (using VMWare) running on a Windows Vista Home installation.
I have mouse input, but scrolling the mouse wheel in either direction only scrolls downward.
The Xorg.conf file doesn't have any particular settings for a mouse device by default. I've tried various iterations of setting the section manually, based on scraps of wisdom I found in various forums. Currently with what I have posted below, I have mouse wheeling down working correctly, but mouse wheeling up does nothing.
I'm unable to make sense of what mystical combination of options I need to get it working. The mouse is a USB optical mouse, nothing too fancy. Does anyone have any insight?
[code]
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
