Re: IMPS/2 problems after kernel 2.4.1 update

[Tyler Braun <tyler@chimptrix.chimp.ca>]

I experienced the same problems with my intellimouse. What you're looking for is
quite simple, I guessed at how I could get the new Zaxis line and it worked. =] 

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

Good luck!
