Setting up a new mouse + keyboard
Ok, I'm running Redhat 7.3, and I got me a brand new mouse and keyboard.
First on my mouse it has an internet wheel I was wondering how do I set it up so it works like in windows i.e. scrolls up and down.
Second, the keyboard is a internet shortcut keyboard : ) with accessories, and I was wondering how do I set up the buttons to goto the next/back page and home type thing, and set up the Audio control to work with Xmms, and the Calculator, Power, Sleep, and wake to do those things?
Can Someone Plz help?

To get the mouse wheel to work:
You need system settings -> peripherals -> mouse.
(If you are using Gnome, you can access this through the main menu. If you are using KDE, I think it is in the control panel)
If you have a "brand name" wheel mouse, select it from the menu. If your mouse isn't listed as one of the "brand names", select generic and you should be able to select either USB or PS/2 wheel mouse.
HTH
Sorry I can't help on the keyboard mapping.

I submitted an NHF on multimedia keyboards last week but it hasn't been posted yet as far as i know.
I am attaching an Open Office Writer copy of it.
(or not - it is too big) LOL
click here for the document (it is zipped and in Open Office Writer format)

The mouse should be pretty easy
edit the XFree86Config file.
Find lines similar to this...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
and change it so that it looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
restart X by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace. Your mouse should now scroll.

You also need
Option "Buttons" "3"

It wouldn't be:
Option "Buttons" "5"
?

For Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" , it would be Buttons "3".
