You don't mention whether you use the mouse exclusively with X or also
with gpm on the console.
If it's just in X, the mouse device in your XF86Config(-4)? will be
/dev/psaux . You just have to change your mouse type to "ImPS/2" and
have a ZAxisMapping line, something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
If you're using gpm to repeat the console mouse data into X, you'll see
your device line specifying /dev/gpmdata . You'll need to ensure that
both X and gpm are using the correct info. Ensure that X is set to
ImPS/2 and has ZAxisMapping as above, and ensure that your gpm.conf
specifies the mouse type "imps2" and repeat type raw, something like
this:
device=/dev/psaux
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
The basic gist of the situation is to make sure you're using imps2
instead of just ps2, to get the wheel events.
good times,
Vineet
