-   The scroll wheel on my mouse doesn't work. I've read up on it a bit and found out that i have to add a zaxis line and buttons 4 and 5. Unfortunately in those instructions i'm not sure which file to put these in. Thanks crtl-k-x

-   Try editing /etc/X11/XF86Config
in section pointer.
the line should be ZAxisMapping 4 5.
If it is a logitech mouse, have a look on Mandrakeuser.org

-   My config file is like that, i've also tried changing the option to MouseManPlusPS/2 but that had no affect. I read the articles on mandrakeuser.org they just repeated what i've already tried. I've also seen a webpage that stated "logitech OEM (black logo on mouse) don't scroll in linux" Any truth to this? Thanks

Section "InputDevice"
