My wheelmouse doesn't scroll

My Logitec wheelmouse doesn't scroll when using the wheel.

I've added the line:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

to /etc/X11/XF86Config but it still doesn't work. Otherwise the mouse is working just fine.

Try configuring you section like below. This allowed me to use my generic scroll mouse with no problems. I think the major issue is making sure the protocol supports scrolling as well.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

When I first installed gentoo, I had exactly the same problem. I even went out and bought a new mouse :oops:

Then I modified the file and, presto I could use both mice to scroll.. YAY!

It Works

Yes I think the key for me was setting Protocol to IMPS/2. I had it at just PS/2 and it didn't work.

That did the trick. It was just changing PS/2 to IMPS/2 that did it.

Much obliged.
