I am having a strange problem with my microsoft intellimouse 3.0 on a
redhat 9.0 o/s ..
i finally got the mouse buttons on the left side of the mouse to work as
they should.. (i.e. press the farthest one back and you go back in a web
page, press the one in front and you go forward), the strange thing is
that the scroll wheel no longer functions as it should... the web page
no longer moves up or down, but if i place the cursor in the url bar and
move the scroll wheel up or down, the cursor will move left or right.
below is a copy of the important part of my XF86Config file and a copy
of my .imwheelrc file
==========
.imwheelrc
============
".*"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right

=========
XF86Config
=========
Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "Mouse0"
         Driver "mouse"
         Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
         Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
         Option "Buttons" "7"
         Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
         Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
 

Section "InputDevice"
 

# If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then
# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
         Identifier "DevInputMice"
         Driver "mouse"
         Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
         Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
         Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

and here is the web page that i found out how to do all this
http://dorward.me.uk/linux/mouse/

fyi i have the microsoft intellimouse plugged into the ps2 port and not
the usb port, so that is why there is that minor discrepancy

anyone have any idea of why the scroll wheel works in such a strange way?
