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. Hall
