PMFJI, but I recently loaded SL9.1 and immediately found that my M$
Intellimouse USB/PS2 Trackball wheel did not work right. When used, it
would scroll within the document or page, but not use the scroll bars which
I expected. I applied the Mandrake 9.1 settings I had, but they did not
work.

I was able to correct the problem with the following code in XF86Config.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
#Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

FWIW, In Mandrake, I had uncommented the Buttons 7 and the ZAxisMapping was
6 7. Go figure.

A good reference I used was at the Xfree86 site:

http://xfree86.org/4.3.0/mouse5.html and
http://xfree86.org/4.3.0/mouse6.html

Sure it works great in X. Try ctrl+alt+f1 to a console and see what happens
when you move your mouse.

Just what does yours do then.??
If you get eriatic movement then YOU have "misconfigured your mouse".
You sir should go back to start do not collect 200 $ and possably go to
jail untill you configure your system properly and futher more dont even
think that because it does not work for you it wont work for others period.

Mine works ok in X and console when switching between one and another,
logitec optic mouse.
X;
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Corepointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

gpm is started with;
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2

Now its your turn..

You fixed my problem. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Works
fine now, mouse would behave erratically when in console, but worked fine
in X. Thanks again!

No you fixed your own problem, you complained that it did not work for
you, i only gave an example because i've been there as well and had that
done thing happen to me, i must admit, i did find it amusing to see my
mouse pointer flying all over the place tho'.
