Mouse Wheel Emulation?

#1 Post by wswartzendruber » Tue Feb 26, 2008 4:52 pm

I need a hand here. I've tried various wiki's, but their steps aren't making this work. I need to setup the TrackPoint's middle button to function as a virtual mouse wheel (holding down the center button while moving up or down scrolls). Can someone with a working "mouse wheel" post their xorg.conf file? It should be in /etc/X11/. Thanks.

On my T60 running Fedora, that just works. There's nothing in the config file for it. Firefox needed me to set an option but I don't remember the name of it right now.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Emulate3TimeOut" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

NOTE: formatting is not working right.
that is very similar to what i did on my debian install but i left my laptop at home this morning, if that doesnt work let me know and i will get the xorg off my laptop for you.
