No, the mouse wheel is the Z axis (much like your notmal X/Y), but
programs expect scrolling infomation on buttons 4 and 5 (up and down
buttons found atop and below the wheel). However, by default, the Z axis
isn't mapped to 4 and 5 (what programs expect for scrolling)

So we have to map the Z axis to buttons 4 and 5.

Add this to the Input section of your X config for your mouse:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

If you need further assistance, please reply to this. Your X config is a
plain text file in /etc/X11/ which is named either XF86Config or xorg.conf

Your mouse section should resemble (but not nessessrarly be exactly)
like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1" # First mouse
Driver "mouse" # its a mouse-load mouse driver
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" # PS/2 scrollmouse
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # PS/2 port
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # needed for scrolling
EndSection

I tried to add
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # needed for scrolling

to my etc/X11/X86Config file but I don't have InputDevice section but:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #this I add but without any change on my
wheel
EndSection

Are you using a very old Linux distro by chance? XFree86 has fallen out
of use for everytrhing but NetBSD, and a "Pointer" section is only used
on old versions of XF86 (really old, at that).

Suggestion: Get a new car, err, distro.

Try ZAxisMapping "4 5" instead of Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5". It's
older XFree86 convention.

I have Mandrake 9.1 and I know that it is better to change it, but I still
don't know enough about linux to install a clean version with all that
stuff I setup (everyone said to me that it is better than upgrade).

I tried:

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/usbmouse"
ZAxisMapping "4 5" #ukljucuje skroll
EndSection

but without success. I wonder how can I figure out how to setup my mouse by
myself. Where to find some error message of a wrong setup, so that I can,
in the future, solve the problem by myself, with the experience.

Does he need a "Buttons 5" as well?
