i wasn't going to post this since you guys had so much of this question, so i googled and searched on various forums for 3 days but i can't seem to get my compaq ps/2's wheel working. if i click it it acts as middle mouse button. Currently i have this in my /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5
EndSelection

i tried Option "Protocol" "PS/2" but didn't work either.

any idea what i should do?
thanks. and sorry for the redundancy but i really did research a lot.

try adding Option "Buttons" "5" after Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

looks fine... except for the missing quotation mark after the number 5...

make this

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5
EndSelection

into this

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSelection

DID IT HELP?

oh sorry. that quotation thing was copy/paste mistake. i had it before =)

i tried before but i just added Option "Buttons" "5" but no luck... works on xp so it must not be device corruption or something like that...

Here is what mine looks like. You are not using somekind of cable adapter on the mouse are you? I have a Logitech wireless mouse.


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

i'm not using anything special. just ps/2 that goes into that round port. i tried the emulate3buttons line but didn't work... sigh.

any other ideas?
