When you put mine in, you have to get rid of the rest of it.

First, delete everything between
Section "InputDevice"
and
EndSection

Then paste in the code.

I didn't see either of theise posts, but I edited the file, and just removed the extra "EndSection" like Ergot told me to do, and it works. :)

This is a common issue. I believe the problem you are having may be related to "Emulate3Buttons", try taking that out and finding if it fixes the problem.

No. Emulate3Buttons means that if you click both left and right at the same time, it counts at middle. That has absolutely nothing to do with the wheel.

I saw something online recently where someone was attempting to modify their mouse settings, a very situation to this, and the whole thing was thrown off by the Emulate3Buttons option, because they had a scrollmouse. Obviously wasn't the same situation, but still...

Hehe!! I've got annother problem!! <3

I just realized, I have no sound. On Ubuntu it detected my sound card. On windows, it didn't. How would I be able to get the drivers, or what ever is needed for it?

Never mind, Ergot ran to the rescue again!! <3 He said "alsaconfig" and it's running now!

[Ergot]

Should have been alsaconf but meh...

No.  Emulate3Buttons means that if you click both left and right at the same time, it counts at middle.  That has absolutely nothing to do with the wheel.

Raped!

Can't remember where I found this link, but it led to Google search, providing this data. And yes, if you click your wheel in, it's the third mouse button.

Yes, that's true.  I don't see how that problem could possibly be caused by Emulate3Buttons, though. 

And for the record, I have it enabled, because I don't always have a mouse hooked up to my laptop, and the actual laptop only has 2 buttons and no wheel.

Mr. iago? (I hope I'm not talking out of my ass) I think you should try and be on AIM more often :) I kind of feel sorry for Ergot. He's nice, but I don't think he can take my continous idiocy. So, if you  ever think it'd be possable, I'd really like to ask you some stuff too, so I can like split my retardation amongst more then one person. :'( I don't want them to hate me 'cause I'm dumb :(

[Edit]

Infact, that's not just for iago, it's for any one that is willing to help me learn how to use an operating system, that I hear, is far supperior to Windows.

[iago]

I might be on AIM this weekend, or I might be going to my dad's cottage.  I don't know yet! 

But anyways, if you have any questions at all, post them here.  Whether or not I'm busy, I still read the forums every 30-60 minutes that I'm on my computer, so you should get a pretty speedy response :)

[Super_X]

Oh, but some of the questions are embarrasing :'( Mind you all, this is my first time using Linux, right?

Well.. How would I go about installing Java?

[iago]

Who cares if you ask dumb questions?  You're new to Linux, so it's practically expected.  If you stick with it, you'll figure it out!

But that's a good question.. Java is a bitch to install. 

The easiest way would be:
$ wget ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/slackware/l/jre-1_5_0_04-i586-2.tgz
# installpkg jre-1_5_0_04-i586-2.tgz

That should look after it. 

[Super_X]

root@kompressor:~# installpkg jre-1_5_0_04-i586-2.tgz
Cannot install jre-1_5_0_04-i586-2.tgz: package does not end in .tgz

[Ergot]

You need to cd into your download directory.

[iago]

yeah, you have to do the wget in the same folder as the installpkg. 

[Super_X]

Oh, I see.

And Ergot helped me install it lastnight.
