MS Explorer 3.0 in SuSE 9


Recommended Posts

Hey,

heres a quickie, I have a MS USB Explorer 3.0 wheel mouse. everything is fine except the frickin wheel doesnt work. I am using the USB explorer module in Suse 9...WTF?????

Any ideas appreciated. I was thinking of using the PS2 adapter, but I still am curious as to why.

Also has anyone upgraded to the 2.6 kernel in suse 9?

I'm not a suse user but I'd say you probably need to make sure your XF86Config file had ZAxisMapping options like this:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

You may want to look into a cool program called imwheel later on. I am able to use the back and forward buttons on my mouse in any linux program with it :)

I am using Suse 9.0 as I type this. Suse worked with my IntilliMouse Explorer from the get go. I know that does not help but recheck your settings with Yast. See if it is indeed set to IntilliMouse or Generic.
