Hey Claude,
I've had this problem with various RedHat dirivatives,
(Fedora, RHEL, ConetOS, etc) for years. I just put
psmouse.proto=imps
in /etc/grub.conf, and the problem goes away. Add it to the
"kernel" line, e.g.,
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet psmouse.proto=imps
(beware of line wrapping)
I remember that one - it's what I used to use to deal with mice
going out of control when connected to Belkin KVM's. But, if
memory serves, doesn't that eliminate the wheel functionality?
I happen to be using an old Linksys KVM switch, but I learned that trick
with the Belkin switch that I used to use. I was surprised that I still
needed to use the psmouse.proto directive with "modern" kernels, but I
still do.
This gives me full mouse wheel support for my Logitech Cordless MouseMan
Optical mouse. I can scroll up and down, and use the wheel as MB3 like
I wanted to do. My xorg.conf looks normal:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
And it works for me...
Good luck,
-Paul
