mouse problems continued - even weirder

[Shai Bentin]

This message is a reply to a previous thread I started before: "can't get the mouse wheel to work"   First of all, thanks for all your previous replies.   For those of you who suggested the different XF86Config-4 mouse settings, I've tried them all with no success. I even tried the Imwheel solution….   However, from all the playing around I've discovered an interesting thing. I neglected to mention that my mandrake is installed on a ThinkPad T22 laptop. I also have a desktop with the same Linux installed. The same mouse works with the wheel on that desktop with no problems using the following settings:                 Identifier            "Mouse0"             Driver                "mouse"             Option               "Device"    "/dev/mouse"             Option               "Protocol"  "imPS/2"             Option               "Emulate3Buttons"    "no"             Option               "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"        Now, using the same simple standard configuration on the laptop makes the same exact mouse to simply go crazy, meaning the pointer moves anywhere but where you want, the buttons don't….   Any ideas why this is occurring, what can be the differences????   Shai
