3.9 Configuring a Mouse with a Scrollwheel
In order to use the scrollwheel with most applications, you will need to configure the
X server to translate scrollwheel motion into button clicks on mouse buttons 4 and 5.
This is set up with an entry in the InputDevice section:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
If you have two scrollwheels, you can configure the second scrollwheel to generate
button clicks on buttons 6 and 7, which some applications interpret as left/right
scrolling (or history navigation in a browser):
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
You can test your configuration using xev.
You may also need to specify the IMPS/2 (Intellimouse) protocol to
enable the use of a scrollwheel:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
