My mouse wheel don't scroll in a linux world so do I choose a wrong mouse
driver or I missed something?
No, the mouse wheel is the Z axis (much like your notmal X/Y), but programs expect scrolling infomation on buttons 4 and 5 (up and down buttons found atop and below the wheel). However, by default, the Z axis isn't mapped to 4 and 5 (what programs expect for scrolling)
So we have to map the Z axis to buttons 4 and 5.
Add this to the Input section of your X config for your mouse:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
If you need further assistance, please reply to this. Your X config is a plain text file in /etc/X11/ which is named either XF86Config or xorg.conf
Your mouse section should resemble (but not nessessrarly be exactly) like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1" # First mouse
Driver "mouse" # its a mouse-load mouse driver
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" # PS/2 scrollmouse
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # PS/2 port
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # needed for scrolling :)
EndSection
