superplay Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi Folks I am using Mandrake 10.1 and a USB wheel mouse. The mouse seems to operate fine, however I would like to change the operation of the wheel. I am used to using a wheel mouse under Windows XP to scroll up and down pages, under mandrake the wheel seems to do random operations, such as in Firefox is moves forwards and backwards through pages. Can the operation of the wheel be change so it controls page scrolling? I have looked in the Mandrake control centre under mouse but can not see any options. Thanks SuperPlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac57 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Tell us the make and model of your mouse. I had the same problem with my Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer. I made some changes to /etc/XF86Config and added an xmodmap to /etc/profile and all was well. I now get scrolling off the wheel and Forward and Back off the extra buttons on the mouse. Let us know your make and model. If it is a Microsoft Intellimouse, I will post the changes I made. Got them right here, from some friendly souls on the forum.

The standard optical one with no extra buttons, and where the when only moves forwards/backwards. Ta SuperPlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
