Mouse wheel not working in Xorg with USB mouse? Try this!

I'm just posting this so others may hit upon it when they search.
For ages, I've been unable to get my mousewheel working,with my USB mouse, although everything in xorg.conf has been just fine. I just found out I needed to load the module uhci-hcd to make it work. Yay!
This can be done manually with 'modprobe uhci-hcd', or include uhci-hcd in the MODULES list in /etc/rc.conf.

You have xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ right? If not, you have to make one, either through xorgconfig or hwd -xa.
And find a input section for mouse. Should look something like this:
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
# Option "Resolution" "256"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection
You see the line
Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"
Just chuck that in your mouse section if it's not there. "Normally" that should just take care of it. If not, post your xorg.config.

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

Scroll wheel not working in Mavericks

Update to OS X Mavericks resulted in mouse scroll wheel not working any more at all in any application. Any suggestions for get scroll wheel function working would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just to understand the sequence: you have this problem when you are in a Firefox tab, click a link, and it opens in a:
* new window
* new tab
* same tab
I'm guessing a new window. Since the title bar area is a bit faded, some other window must have the focus, but which one?? If you press and hold the Alt key and press and release the Tab key, you should get the visual Task Switcher pane. The icon to the left of the current highlighted icon indicates the window that had the focus. If you then click that first icon, is it another Firefox window, or some other app?

Have you changed the system voice to an English one in system preferences?

Ctrl-T command do not work in website with flash

If the Flash object has focus then key presses are processed by that plugin.
In such cases you need to click outside that plugin (e.g. the menu bar if you can't click on the website) to make the keyboard work.

Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).

For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.10 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

very likely it is a hardware issue, if after restore to factory setting does not solve.
it could be caused by poor contact or the faulty click wheel of the iPod, just like mine

Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

Did you restore from backup?
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup
