I updated to the lastest -current, which includes a change to xorg, and
now my IMPS/2 mousewheel does not always work. It won't work in mlterm and
now it only works if I mouseover the scrollbar in Opera.

Anyone else get this, and/or have a fix?

try adding the line

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the InputDevice secion. Here's a snip of mine:

# ************************************************** ********************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# ************************************************** ********************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

In addition, I have found that you *may* also need
the following, before the ZAxisMapping line:

Option "Buttons" "5"

You don't understand, it was working before, and now it hardly works on
anything but if I mouseover a scrollbar. My xorg.conf hasn't changed from:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Explorer"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Well, now that's information, though, as the crystal ball is under
repair after investigating on which cat turned the monitor down the
desk, we're still missing a description of
"doesn't always work" and "now it only works if I mouseover..." :-)

Meanwhile, as the "Mouse Config" has had some funny changes for
6.9 and 7.0 you may like to read the source doc :
http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/mouse.html

It may ring a mouse to you ;-)

I expected this would be a common problem with people here since the last
change to -current, and so I didn't think I needed to explain more.

Thanks for your help.

I have a fix.

-current's new X must have swapped the mouse's Z axis for the Y axis, so,
change ZAxisMapping to YAxisMapping in your xorg.conf.

There, there, so you prefer to assume things prior to ask ?
And then you ask and are willing us to assume you're right of
not giving information on what your problem is?

OK, then I'll assume you were stuck with the common problem
since last time current was not current: bring back your razor
in the bathroom and plug back your mouse in the mouse plug ;-)

That's a general date for upper section, the page itself was
last amended on: 21.12.2005 08:24:33

You may have noticed the ZAxisMapping section had a severe lifting.

> "...now my IMPS/2 mousewheel does not always work."

BTW, I have one mouse at work I had to put :

Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4"

instead of

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

like I have on my other machines, all on -current, wonders ...-)
Not as funny as when they changed "keyboard" to "kbd", though!
