I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and put "ZAxismapping" "4 5" in there. But my wheel mouse does not scroll. Any ideas?...

    Wheel mouse

    I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and put "ZAxismapping" "4 5" in there. But my wheel mouse does not scroll.
    Any ideas?

    Perhaps you need a space?

    Code:
    "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"

    When you ran "xorgconfig", you also selected "IMPS/2" or "Auto", not "PS/2", right?

    It is fixed now, I don't know how.
    I was trying some different things.
    I tried "ZAxismapping" "6 7"=no change
    I tried "ZAxismapping" "3 4"=no butttons worked
    So, I went back to "ZAxismapping" ""4 5"
    And now it works.
    Maybe it just needed a full reboot, instead of just logging out into the Command line, and restarting X.

    This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf now. My wheel works great.

    Code:
     Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxismapping" "4 5"
