thanks in advance

Why dont you try making them the same? if the ubuntu xorg.conf works, use the values from that.

you're clearly not using the same devices or protocol in your ubuntu config compared to the slackware config

maybe thats the reason? especially if it works in ubuntu

:)

everyone who has this problem---here is a solution
Change this

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2

thanks for idea kern but my cursor is still moving up and down only

I have a similar problem when I installed Slack on a computer with a wireless USB mouse! Eventhough I can't really remember what I did to fix it, I think specifying that it was a 7 button mouse (4 buttons + wheel) helped. Try that and let us know if it works.

ok i have installed slackware 10.2 and this is my current pointer device selection
My pointer is still moving up and down only.Now how to change from 3 button mice to 7 button mice?
