Mousewheel out of duty

[isadora]

Since updating Mandrake10OE yesterday, including some X-packages, the mousewheel won't function any longer.

I went through xf86config several times, good exercise, but no better results.

The wheel of the Cordless Logitech MouseMan Optical still isn't in any mood of being scrollable.

 

I found the following section about the mouse in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4;

 

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"

Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

 

Can anybody give me some hint?

Found the solution already after reading the /var/log/xfree86.0.log

Using config file: "/root/XF86Config-4", instead of

Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"

Renamed the XF86Config-4-file on /root and restarted X.

Can now scroll again.
