To do this, I have been attempting to add in the following line to my xorg.conf file :
"Options" "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
The problem is, I have no xorg.conf file. When I create one with xorgconfigure or X -configure or Xorg -configure, then X refuses to start. I get the following error :
Fatal server error: no screens found.
If I remove the xorg.conf file, then X starts up fine but once again, no mouse wheel support.
What do I do to fix this?
If you're using FC3 just go to rpm.livna.org and get them as an RPM. Otherwise head to the respective company's website and get the files to build a module.
Here's the "screen" section from my xorg.conf -- see if there's anything similar in the file it's generating for you.
quote:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

Try creating a blank xorg.conf with just your one line in it. Worst it'll do is not work, right?
I'll double-check what the 'screen' section says.
EDIT :
Screen section is mostly identical. I tried setting it to be Standard VGA, but that did the same exact thing. No screen.
I set up a blank xorg.conf and same thing. No screen.
I know there must be a 'default' configuration or something that it's loading, but the screen scrolls so fast I can't read it before it's gone. I tried doing 'startx >> test.log' to see if it'd put all the 'loading this and that and whatever' text into a file, but that didn't work.
Any ideas? Khyron fucked around with this message on 06-02-2005 at 07:15 PM.

I'm using a POS Matrox 8mb agp card. Nothing special. I've tried using both the Matrox specific option while configuring xorg, neither has made any difference at all.I'll double-check what the 'screen' section says.

Mod impressed everyone with:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
YES! That's EXACTLY what I was hoping for.
I found the problem! Even though the card itself says 'Matrox 8mb AGP' on it, it's being recognised as an ATI card by linux. God only knows why. But, running Xorgconfig again and choosing ATI instead of Matrox or standard VESA WORKED. And now my scroll wheel works. Hoo-rah!
