    Unhappy Mouse scrolling doesn't work

    Hello,

    I can't get to use the mouse scroll wheel to work.

    I checked the mouse settings (scrolling enabled) and the xorg.conf file, both seem ok.

    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver       "mouse"
      Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
      Option       "AutoSoft" "on"
      Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
      Option       "Name" "<undefined>"
      Option       "Protocol" "Auto"
      Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
      Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection
    My mouse is a razer copperhead. Does anyone have an idea why it doesn't work?

    Thanks

    Stan

    Its hard to say, but try configuring the mouse under YaST, rather then manipulate it through a terminal session. Also when you configure it through YaST make sure you give exact details on Make, model and such it makes a defference. Best of luck.

    That's what I did. (configured with YaST) Unfortunately, my mouse is not in the list of known models.

    Tell you what, this may not help you but it might make you wonder...

    I have a Phillips 17" CRT monitor, 107E5 is the exact model number. SuSE detected it upon installation and the installation went fine (no graphical disorientations)

    Anyway when I boot up my lines were skew (both horizontal and vertical) and the picture didn't quite fit into the screen. Anyway I installed my nVidia drivers hoping that it might do the trick but it didn't. So i changed my monitor type to the last model on the "Tatung" list, mind you, I've never heard of such a make, but voila! There it was with a perfect fit.

    So search google it might be that your mouse is configured under some different model/driver...
