I believe I tried that, along with "Options ZAxisMapping 6 7",
all with no luck. I also set it up *exactly* like the
instructions for XFree86 detail and it still didn't work. I
don't recall now, but I think when I spec'd "MouseManPlusPS/2"
as the protocol, my mouse pointer would very quickly jump
around the screen. It was *unusable*. If I was able to get it
to stop within an application that understood the scroll
wheel, it didn't scroll.
Again, I've settled on the "IMPS/2" protocol, "ZAxisMapping 4
5", and no "Buttons" number spec'd. The mouse works okay this
way, including the scrolling wheel. The thumb button does
nothing, that I recall. If it does something, it may be
duplicating the 3rd button's functions in Enlightenment.
