This is kinda wierd.

Ok, so I emerge xfree 4.3.0. Everything goes just fine. I run xf86config. Configure everything properly. I edit the XF86Config file, to have the correct video drivers working, and to add "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to get my usb mousewheel to work.

I start X, just fine. I get the Nvidia splash screen. Mouse works(as /dev/usbmouse).
But when I go to use scroll funtionality, no dice.

Hrm... wierd. Because with the older version of xfree I was using, the mousewheel on USB worked just fine.

Here is my entry for my mouse in my XF86Config file:

try commenting out or changing the protocol line.

Maybe its detecting the wrong number of buttons, and because the zaxismapping needs to be the last 2 buttons its causing scrolling not to work

try adding

Try changing the protocol to "IMPS2"

It worked for me

HEY! That worked. IMPS/2

I see now what had changed from the previous version of X. It was that new "auto" thing.

cool. Hehe.. I guess I would have figured that out, hadn't I hastily copied my XF86Config file into my /X11/ directory. I accidently over wrote the old one, without making a backup.

Oh well, live and learn.

SWEET!

Thanks guys
