MS Intellimouse Explorer

[IceStorm]

I know this is listed many times, and I've searched and tried many ways to fix this problem.

 

Ok, I'll start off by saying the mouse works perfect in MS Windows. It also used to work 90% fine in linux. Everything worked, except I was tryin to bind my two thumb buttons. XEV would see them being pressed and all that.

 

Now, after trying the 100000 suggestions on getting them to work I must of messed something up. Because now the wheel will not work (neither mousewheelup or mousewheeldown), and depressing the scroll wheel will not work either. Also, the two thumb buttons are no longer recognized. XEV will only see the two main buttons and thats it. Here is my XF86Config-4 (my XF86Config is empty):

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"

Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "imps/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Option "Buttons" "7"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

EndSection

 

It used to be set as ExplorerPS/2, but the results were the same. I've tried changing the mouse type and then back, but same results.

 

I ask you this, how can I get my mouse back to the way it was from initial install? Where the wheel worked, and the thumb buttons were recognized.

 

PS. I'm a newbie and thank you.

Thanks for the reply BVC. Here is what it says.

[root@localhost /]# cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse

MOUSETYPE=ps/2

XMOUSETYPE=ExplorerPS/2

FULLNAME="PS/2|Microsoft Explorer"

XEMU3=no

WHEEL=yes

device=psaux

[root@localhost /]#

 

I shut down my system last night and then booted up this AM and the wheel is working. The thumb buttons are seen in XEV, but they are seen as the same as buttons 2 and 3. In the past there were seen as buttons 4 and 5 (I beleive).
