My usbmouse wheel doesn't work rt.

I'm mean rt by, when you're in a split window of any kind, you can't just move to another side and scroll without clicking first.

 

I've reconfigured the usbmouse several times but it won't fix icon_evil.gif There are no errors in the logs

 

does anyone know a way to fix this? imwheelrc doesn't say anything about a mouse (I thought that is what it was for????) When I use xev, where it use to say 4 and 5 for the wheel I get this

Sorry :( I've read your other posts, and I don't find the solution.

Maybe it would help if you post the equivalent of the above xev output exerpt before the problem (when buttons 4 and 5 are still 4 and 5), but I'm not sure...

Thanks, but I did a clean install over my 8.1. So I'd have to reinstall, to get the rt xev readings, I guess. I'm going to compile my kernel though, so I'm thinking either that will fix it (?somehow?), or it will mean some config files somewhere are messed up???? :cry:

 

I've tried

xmodmap -display $DISPLAY -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5"

and

xmodmap -display :0 -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5" > /dev/null 2>&1

 

and a few other variations, but I guess if the default is mess up, the above wouldn't do any good. I think it's a X/root window problem because the mapping of the buttons are fine.

 

Unless someone else with a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical usbmouse wants to run xev and post the output????

Strange but I'll take it. I tried to compile the kernel, and changed reiserfs from M to Y, so it failed??? I dk why but it couldn't find a reiserfs filesystem. Anyway, after rebooting to the default the mouse works wonderfully again.

 

A new fix for strange probs :lol: Don't worry if you're never successful, just check off stuff you shouldn't so it fails, reboot to another kernel and...who knows....maybe your strange prob will be fixed to. If you have one :P
