Wheel mouse

I have a usb microsoft optical wheel mouse.
Does anyone know how to get the wheel mouse to scroll in firefox?
i tried all mouse setups in my xorgconfig and nothing.
I am using blackbox window manager
Thank you for your help

Can you use the scroll anywhere but Firefox, or not anywere at all? can you post your mouse section of your xorg.conf please?

You should have it somthing like this:

Quote:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I can use the wheel mouse as a button for selecting workspaces in blackbox.
but thats about it.

here is my xorg file

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

# Option "Resolution" "256"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

# Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

I think sometimes also you need to set your ZAxisMapping to "6 7"...I have to do that with my intellimouse, I think becasue of its number of buttons.

The ZAxisMapping is always the last 2 buttons so if a 7 button mouse then "6 7" if like my 12 button mouse it is "11 12"
