USB Genius wheel mouse don't work properly

[aze]

hi all!

i have a genius netscroll wheel optical USB mouse with 2 additional buttons.

I tried to configure it using mandrake control center but it isn't recognizing the wheel as well as the 2 additional buttons

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"

Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"

Option "Emulate3Buttons"

Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

Option "EmulateWheel"

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

EndSection

 

what should I do to make it work fine?

It should be like this to enable ths scrolling

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier "Mouse1"
   Driver "mouse"
   Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
   Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

 

Note that it won't enable the additional buttons. For that you need to google for the answer. Fortunately, I find out that additional buttons are pretty much useless in linux anyway, although you can program it to do certain things
