Stuck with Logitech PS/2 Wheelmouse : still does not work

[bobke]

Hello all,

I have Knoppix hd-installed on a seperate standalone vmware machine.
It all works fine, except I can't make my wheelmouse work properly : ie. can not make use of the wheel.
I've looked around at the docs, faqs and forum entries on this subject and applied them but invain.
This what I have :
- Hardware :
Logitech M-BJ69 Optical Wheelmouse
This mous has 2 buttons and the wheel between them
I make use of the PS/2 connection
- These are the updates done to the configuration files :
----------------start of data --------------------------------
a- update /etc/lilo.conf file ( 1 line ):

append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce wheelmouse"

b- update /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file :

* at the beginning :

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
# Serial Mouse not detected
# USB Mouse not detected
EndSection

* for ps/2 mouse :

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
------------------- end of data -------------------
I've rebooted Knoppix but still have no success .
I'm calling up Kwrite editor with a big text file : no luck
I'm calling up the conqueror explorer with a big directory : no luck

Anyone has an idea ?

This works for me:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
        Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
EndSection

Thanks rickenbacherus for your answer.

Still it does not work, but I have found the reason.
I'm using VMWARE WKST to host my HD-installed KNOPPIX system and I have also some other virtual machines ( ex. windows adv server ), and guess what : the wheel-mouse does not work under windows also !
So this brings me that is a vmware problem.

Maybe out of topic : has anybody yet found out how to use the wheelmouse under vmsware wkst ??

Thanks again.
