Am a linux newbie and just installed a bluetooth MS intellimouse explorer (the latest one with vertical and horizontal scrolling). It worked on fc3 out of the box but without scrolling.

I have looked around and tried tweaking xorg.conf and gotten nowhere so far. Is there anything I need to know about to get this mouse scrolling?

Welcome to the club. The program you want to use is xmodmap to asign and re-map your buttons, but for some reason this doesn't always work... In xorg.conf (I have an Intellimouse Explorer Wireless 2.0) I have:
Option "MouseButtons" " 7"
Opton "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Resolution" "100"

Worth noting, this is the same configuration I had in xorg.conf for Fedora 2 (Xorg 6.7) and xmodmap worked like a charm. Anyway, with that in the config file, I try next to execute:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

And even though this seems to work OK, I don't get mouse buttons 4 or 5 events whatsoever (they are mapped as buttons 3 and 2 respectively)... I've been trying to find a way to solve this to no avail.
