Hi there,

I'm new to the MandrakeUsers-Forum as well as I'm relatively new to Linux. I've recently completed my Mandrake 10 Installation with the NVidia-Drivers, Sound etc. all up and running. Only the mouse wheel of my "Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse" refuses to work. Strangely, it used to work in the setup mouse test! The Mandrake hardware wizard now is stuck to the universal mouse driver.

Thanks for your help,

xororand

check your /etc/X11/XF86Config (it might be called XF86Config-4 too) for this lines:

 

# **********************************************************************

# Core Pointer's InputDevice section

# **********************************************************************

 

Section "InputDevice"

 

# Identifier and driver

 

    Identifier  "Mouse1"

    Driver      "M$OpticalWheelMouse"

    Option "Protocol"    "imps/2"

    Option "Device"      "/dev/misc/psaux"

    Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"

 

 

The line required for the wheel to work is the bolded one. The others depend on your system so dont change them on your file.

 

The mouse section (core pointer bla bla) is around line 215 in the file.

 

good luck!
