Hey Chris. This one often stumps even seasoned X dorks like myself. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for the 'Section "InputDevice"' stanza |
| 4 |
which describes your mouse, and add the following: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Option "ZAxisMApping" "4 5" |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This will get your mouse wheel up and running, but you'll need to |
| 9 |
restart X by logging out of Gnome, and at gdm (or greeter of choice), do |
| 10 |
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and long back in. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Should work for you! |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Slainte. |

Well Princess, it looks like you managed to keep me |
| 39 |
here a while longer. |

I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks |
| 42 |
it's dangerous for anyone to leave the system until |
| 43 |
they've activated the energy shield. |

That's a good story. I think you just can't bear to |
| 46 |
let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight. |

I don't know where you get you delusions, laser brain! |

Laugh it up, fuzzball! |
