scroll wheel mouse

[Columcille]

---

Okay I finally figured out my problem. I had a copy of xorg.conf in my home dir as a backup, and whenever I ran startx it seemed it was loading that copy and not the one in /etc/X11/ so any changes I made in /etc/X11/xorg.conf were basically being ignored. I removed the backup copy since I didn't really need it, and it works fine now.

Thanks!

I figured out my problem. I didn't have the correct usb drivers compiled into my kernel.

My usb mouse worked without them but the wheel would not! Strange. Oh well.

Timander,

which forum entry fixed your mouse wheel in gentoo? I'm running 2004.2. It looks like I'm using xorg, but there isn't an xorg.conf file, just an xorg.conf.example.

Thanks for the help.
