Logitech Optical Wheelmouse

[bobaloo]

How I got it to work as I did not specify wheelmouse when installing. (I assume that works. Please inform if not the case)

run mouseconfig it asks 2 questions in sequence
question 1 asks type of mouse: indicate ps2
then it asks if wheelmouse (y)
restarted x and no joy
then I Edited XF86Config-4
changing :
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
to
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
thusly...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

It now works. Don't know if mouseconfig was necassary but suspect it was. ???

Can't you just write boot: knoppix wheelmouse in the boot screen, or are you talking about the Knoppix that installs on your HD. Just wondering?

Uhm... my wheelmouse is working fine

BTW. I've got Knoppix installed on my HDD but still haven't figured out how to get Lilo to come up... still having to use my boot floppy ;(

' man lilo '
' jstar /etc/lilo.conf '

--If you're doing dual-boot, NEVER allow lilo to write to the MBR. If you reinstall Winxx (it'll happen eventually) it takes over the system. Either create a separate /boot partition (and copy /boot files to it, create the entry in fstab and activate the boot flag on that partition, and put Lilo boot sector in /boot) or set the boot= info to your Knoppix partition in lilo.conf (and activate the boot flag there [' man activate '] - you can re-set the boot flag with Win's fdisk as well.)

--Hope that makes sense.
