Greetings,

I recently replaced my three button mouse due to malfunctions (cursor would
frequently snap to the upper left corner, windows would be opened and
closed at random etc very annoying). I could not find a "plain-jane" three
button mouse so I bought a Aopen dual wheel five button optical mouse.

The mouse works satisfactorily but not perfectly. I can use it just like my
old three button in KDE. The side buttons are recognized and cause most
applications I have been into scroll up or down but I have only been able
to get the wheels to scroll horizontally or to act as a left-button-click.
That is, when I move the wheel the screen will scroll left/right if there
is any left-right scrolling to be done. In order to get the wheels to do
up/down scrolling I put the cursor on the appropriate on-screen button and
then scroll the wheel, essentially the wheel is recognized a left-button
click.

I did some googling and added the following lines to my XF86Config file:

   Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Buttons" "9"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 8 9"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "Y"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "N1 N2 N3 N4"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

As you can see I have tried multiple configurations. Also, it seems each
application has its own configuration file that needs tailoring, is this
true?

Thanks
Mark
