Hi, List:

As I said in another reply to this thread, my Logitech MouseMan Wheel 
is plugged into a USB port and works fine except it doesn't scroll.  My 
/etc/X11/XF86Config file (pointing device section) appears below.  Note 
that opposite "Option Protocol" it says "imps/2."  

I would rather not screw around with YaST here, but prefer to edit the 
appropriate file directly.  In addition to the changes suggested by 
Dave Herman, what should replace the "protocol imps/2" part of the file 
to make it consistent with the parameters required by a USB device?

Here's my current /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "mouse"
  Identifier    "Mouse[1]"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
  Option        "Emulate3Buttons"       "on"
  Option        "Emulate3Timeout"       "50"
  Option        "InputFashion"          "Mouse"
  Option        "Name"          "Autodetection"
  Option        "Protocol"      "imps/2"
  Option        "Vendor"        "Sysp"
EndSection


In addition, I have a second mouse, identical to the one I mentioned 
above, on a second Linux box.  It is plugged into a ps/2 port.  It 
plays like a Wurlitzer, and it also *scrolls*.  I have SuSE 7.2 
Personal installed on that machine.
