Hello, I've used different Xorg builds, 6.8.2, 6.9_cvs (nxsty), and previous 6.7 snapshots.

I've never had a problem with the scrollwheel until I tried Xorg 7.0 Modular, I followed the wiki, gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg, I just can not get the scrollwheel working :\

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"	# PS/2 Mouse
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
EndSection

Its just a simple logitech wireless mouse :-p, right click, left click, middle click, scrollwheel :\

The evdev driver solved my problems.

You have to enable event devices in the kernel and emerge xf86-driver-evdev. protocol and driver evdev.

There are some threads about it.

You can also try to change

Code: Select all

Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"   # PS/2 Mouse

into

Code: Select all

Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"   # MS IntelliMouse (IMPS/2) Mouse
