Install scroll mouse in SUSE

[Montano]

My XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "ButtonNumber" "2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Looks good, but I get no scroll?? It a MIcrosoft Wheel Mouse Optical. I tried every driver listed in YaST......

I'm guessing there are at least 3 buttons: left, right, scroll wheel. Try putting in a 3 (5 seems to be common, which is why I recommended it). Not sure though.

Here is the appropriate section from the Redhat Enterprise 3 computer I'm at right now.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
