3rd mouse button

hey guys,

I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 and can't figure out how to get the 3rd mouse button to scroll up or down in Red Hat 7.3 (KDE 3.0).
Does anyone know how to do this?
I used to use Mandrake and it worked perfectly, but I found Mandrake to be too... "klunky" so I decided to try Red Hat.. but this is really annoying me 😛
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-X
 
If your mouse wheel is not functioning in X but everything is working fine you will have to edit your /etc/X11/F86Config file. Here is a edited copy of my mouse configuration....



# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

Keep in mind that I have a USB mouse the drivers are going to be bit different, however this is the important line for you:


Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

If you have more questions you can probably find out the answers at Redhat's main site.

hope it helps ya!
