Mouse Protocol

I have PS/2 mice on 2 systems using the PS/2 protocol and "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" enabled. However, i don't get scrolling. Iread recently that PS/2 doesn't support scrolling. However I can't find a list of protocols that do. If it matters one is a Logitech MouseMan Marble and the other one is a Kensington Mouse-in-box Optical PS/2 / USB. I could try this one USB as well, but what kern options do i need to enable? And then would protocol USB work?

It seems to work. (Works on one com, can't interupt kern build on other). Thanks. Now if i can get the com not to lag when scrolling. A(takes a while to scroll and scrolling gets behind mouse in all apps. Is there a remedy for this,

Neomagic onboard 6mb.
x is set correctly. I'm gonna try a lower color depth.

For the Logitech, use the MouseManPlusPS/2 protocol. It will work better. Just about any other brand will work with IMPS/2.
