Hello all, I recently upgraded my system from an ancient 5.1-CURRENT to 6.1-BETA2 and all was going fine until my trusty Logitech plain-jane 3-button mouse with scroll wheel wouldn't scroll with the wheel :) I grepped the list archives and googled quite a bit and it appears that in Xorg 6.9.0 they changed some behavior regarding mouse buttons. I had had "-z 4" in my moused_flags variable before in 5.1-CURRENT so I put that in there this time too. However, after changing a million different settings of ZAxisMapping and Buttons and ButtonMapping (as some people on the net had suggested) nothing was working. So, just experimenting I took the "-z 4" out of moused's flags, shut it down and restarted it and entered X with Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" in my X config and low and behold things "behave" like I expect them to with wheel scrolls automatically mapping to button4/button5 events. So, I'm not sure if others who have tracked 6-STABLE have had this happen with the latest Xorg brought in, but perhaps this is the proper solution that might work for others. All I know is that it worked, so therefore I'm happy :) -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Structural / Physical Design - DEG/NSG SCD jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
