That's pretty useless if you don't tell us anything about your hardware. On
one system, I have a usb microsoft wheelmouse, and this config works pretty
well:
/etc/gpm.conf:
device=/dev/input/mice
repeat_type=ms3
type=ps2
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
