I have noticed in the last couple days that rolling the wheel on my |
2 |
mouse is not scrolling through webpages or email. |
3 |
I checked my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it had not been changed. Just to be |
4 |
sure it is not a broken mouse I booted into Mandrake and tested it |
5 |
there, mouse scrolled like a charm. After I booted back to Gentoo, the |
6 |
mouse was still not working. I decided to steal the setting from |
7 |
Mandrake's XF86Config, since it was working there. |
8 |
I changed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf from: |
9 |
Identifier "Mouse1" |
10 |
Driver "mouse" |
11 |
Option "Protocol" "PS/2" |
12 |
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" |
13 |
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |
14 |
to: |
15 |
Identifier "Mouse1" |
16 |
Driver "mouse" |
17 |
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" |
18 |
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" |
19 |
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" |
20 |
After I made that change I rebooted. When I checked my |
21 |
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, it was still showing the original settings i.e. |
22 |
PS/2 not the ExplorerPS/2. After some digging around noticed the line |
23 |
(==) Using config file: "//xorg.conf". Sure enough I had backed up my |
24 |
xorg.conf to the / folder a couple months ago and sure enought it was |
25 |
using that copy. After I changed that file name, I rebooted and the |
26 |
correct information is now showing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, (==) Using |
27 |
config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". |
28 |
|
29 |
I was under the impression that the folder /etc/X11is the folder only |
30 |
scanned and used. That is why I put the backup copy there. My question |
31 |
is: is this behavior a know thing and I missed it, or can others be |
32 |
bitten by this also? |
33 |
|
34 |
P.S. the mouse is still not scrolling. Any help with this would be great. |
35 |
Thanks |
