Mouse cannot scroll [Solved]

I have a compaq mouse that is not USB with two scrolling wheel at the top, but they are being useless since I came to arch. My xorg.conf looks like the following
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
I added this two lines from google search but still does not solve it
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Can anybody help please?

Yeah, ImPS/2 is for scrollable mice (I think mine's set to "Auto")
Also, I wouldn't advise using /dev/psaux - udex is smart enough to know that's a mouse and create /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mice devices. The cool thing about /dev/input/mice is that it's basically a "cat" of all mouseX devices....
If I had 3 USB mice and one PS/2 mouse plugged in, and had /dev/input/mice in my xorg.conf, you can move any mouse and it does the same thing.
This is important for laptops, where you may use a usb mouse and the laptop's mouse (although synaptic touchpads are different if you want to use the synaptic driver)

Mouse 3 scroll [SOLVED]

In windows, while i was using firefox, i could click the mouse 3 (scroll wheel) to enable scrolling by moving the mouse. I would like to enable that in linux, but i dont know how. Have any of you guys gotten that to work?

I hate that thing, too. You can enable/disable that option through about:config. There should be an entry called "general.autoScroll" there and you can set it to "true" to enable it.

Wired Mighty Mouse cannot scroll down.

I have had my wired mighty mouse since 2007. Every once in a while the scroll would stop working for a second but once i rolled it around, it would start scrolling again. Now my mouse has not been able to scroll down all day. I have read online that if you roll the scroller around on paper, it will clean the roller and it should start working again. I tried this many times and my mouse is still not functioning. Is there a way to fix this or should i just purchase a new one?

You need to open & clean. Watch this video.

Cannot scroll drop downs, or drag and drop files/folders with mouse

I cannot scroll drop downs (I can click them, but I can't choose anything) or drag files or folders with the mouse or touch pad, but it works fine when I use my Wacom tablet. It's super frustrating. Help!

P.S. I've narrowed the problem down to being related to the game Diablo III. If I restart my machine, it works fine again. Until I play Diablo. Totally lame.

Cannot scroll up with my mouse

Can anyone give me some tips on how to resolve this problem? I can scroll down using my mouse; but am unable to scroll up. I have disconnected and cleaned carefully; but still cannot scroll up. Any help would be most appreciated. I Mac OS system is 10.6.7.
Thank you,
Glenda

Most often this is caused by junk in the mouse ball. The approved method is to use a sheet of white paper, like copy paper, and invert the mouse, press the roller rather firmly down on the paper, and roll it around.

How can I prevent Magic Mouse from scrolling horizontally when I don't want it to?

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse to go with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a great mouse but it causes 2 problems:
If I leave it on "Scroll with interia" in System Preferences/Mouse, it scrolls horizontally when I don't want it to. Since I mostly work in Word documents, I often lose my place in the document this way. On the other hand, checking "Scroll without inertia" makes vertical scrolling, which I do all the time, a lot harder.
The mouse seems to cause what I think of as "fractures" in Word documents--words and parts of sentences will disappear or get crunched together , then reappear when I select the place where they vanished. They also reappear if I scroll vertically to get the problem area off the screen and then return to it. This wastes a lot of time at best; at worst, I'm afraid I'll lose work. The problem occurred once in a while with a Logitech bluetooth mouse I was using, but not as bad and not all the time.
I love the mouse's ergonomics and would like to keep it, but if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to return it. Would be very, very grateful for any tips! Thanks.

Always nervous about recommending sites I have no personal experience of. On the plus side it doesn't relate to any of the bad sites I am familiar with and it appears to be the developer's site ... but there is no contact point for you to ask questions. You said in your initial post it was to go with Snow Leopard but this version says it is meant for 10.7 and above. Did you notice that? I also notice several other references to Word and mouse and one person found the solution lay in the updating of word 2011 to its highest level. I can offer no more.

I am unable to get my Logitech T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6

I am unable to get my T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6. Any suggestions on how to enable this? The bar at the bottom of the document moves left/right as I scroll, but the screen doesn't.
I am using a T620 touch mouse on Windows 7 64 bit with the latest version of setpoint. I have checked the box in the mouses settings to allow sidescrolling with a swipe of 1 finger. I am aware you can hold control and swipe up/down to get a left right scroll.
Thanks in advance

I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select I then cannot scroll back to the original google page?

I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select one, I then cannot scroll back to the original google page if I wish to try a different answer?

Sorry, I'm not very good at describing the problem. If I had multiple browser pages open, prior to downloading Maverick I could swipe the mouse to go back or forward as required. Now if I google a subject and the page comes up with all the choices and I pick one, I now cannot swipe back to the first page , I have to re-open google each time, type in my seach and start from scratch.

Cannot scroll up or down in Firefox, just started

A couple of days ago, it just started not scrolling. I can scroll with the mouse scroll button. I cannot scroll with keyboard arrows, up and down. I have checked everything I can think of. There is no symbol anywhere that I can see. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Checked my options and all. Cannot tell if anything is wrong on some of them. The ones I think I know about are ok. Please help. Thanks.

hello, maybe you're in caret browsing mode accidentally. if so press F7 in order to leave caret browsing mode again - then the behaviour should be back to normal...

Cannot scroll past certain areas in apps

I encountered this problem a long time ago but it just recently became very disruptive.
(first off, my phone is a BlackBerry Curve 8530)
It appears that a bug causes the trackpad to stop scrolling past a particular area for whatever reason. Some time ago, I encountered this problem in my iheartradio app. I was unable to scroll through all of the genres to get to the one I wanted. I can't remember which, but for all intents and purposes, let's say there were 20 genres. I could scroll down through genres 1-15 but I could not scroll any further in order to get to 16-20. I never figured out why it did that, but the problem was "resolved" after I updated the app (because of the interface change). The problem went away becauses the list of genres were oriented in a very different manner.
Now, I have encountered this problem in the App World app.
I was bored and started playing in App World and came across "iSpeech Translator" (which is No. 25 in the "Top Free" category). When it was installing, I hit the back button to go back to the "Top Free" list (did this cause the problem?) and now it appears that my phone became "stuck" at No. 25....in ALL categories. Top Free, Top Paid, New Arrivals, Top Rated....in all of them, I cannot scroll past the 25th app....and it is incredibly frustrating. I can only scroll from 1 to 25...and no further.
I've tried reinstalling App World, downgrading App World, and pulling the battery but nothing has worked so far. I was unable to find a reference to my specific problem through Google so I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I'm not 100% certain, but there may or may not be more than 25 items to browse (since 25 is a pretty standard cut-off number) Can someone please confirm this for me. Additionally, I distinctly remember being unable to scroll through all of the genres in my iheartradio app....so hopefully I'm not going crazy

Hey MMIC880,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
In BlackBerry® App World the amount listed for Top Free, Top Paid, New Arrivals, Top Rated is 25, it does not go higher.
Thanks.

Bluethooth Mouse can scroll but not click

Hi All,
I was searching around the disucssion groups and I hope I did not miss a solution for my problem - so, if I double the problem submission I apologize!
I have a weird issue and apparently Apple support cannot help as well.
I recently bought an iMac 24 and added to it the bluetooth mighty mouse as well as the bluetooth keyboard, both worked fine and I love the functionality (once you know the keyboard shortcuts) and the design.
After a week or two the bluetooth mouse kept scrolling but did not accept any left or right click anymore. I deleted it from the bluetooth device list, set it new up, but it did not help! I talked to Apple and they assumed the mouse was broken and offered to send a new one, which I received next day. The new mouse was installed next day and worked since then. This morning I was setting up some copy processes to a new external HDD and all over sudden, the bluetooth mouse keeps scolling but does not accept any click anymore. I set it new up, reinstalled both keyboard and mouse in different install orders, but nothing works - still the mouse only scrolls but does not accept click.
Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be and can be resolved - any help is HIGHLY appreciated!
Thanks

I cannot drag my cursor, which means I cannot highlight things, I cannot scroll down/up without using the little arrows on the page

Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?

Thanks, Roy

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.
