I have an IntelliPoint mouse with a wheel. I was wondering how i would go about being able to use the wheel under Linux, as in to scroll with? Or is it even possible? When i set it to a wheel mouse during the intallation, or skipped during installation and changed it later under the settings in Linux, it really messed the mousing up. Uncontrollablely so.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"
EndSection
above is my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file notice the "Protocal" part is "IMPS/2" yours is probaly just ps/2 also make sure that the "Buttons" is set to "3" however of course make sure you look at the whole file by the way I have a two button with mouse wheel generic mouse give that a shot good luck.

There is also a good NHF (Newbie Help File) on this site that has some good details on how to get this working, works great for me...but do_guh_new summed it up very well :)
