    Mouse Scroll

    I have just installed Ubuntu on a clean HDD and the installation went great but I am having problems with my mouse scroll wheel. Every click of the scroll wheel causes about 15 lines to advance. WOW It's hard to use and I don't enjoy the up and down arrows on the sidebar. Is there a solution to this? My mouse is a Wireless Laser mouse 5000. I think in Windows I get 3 lines for each click of the wheel. Makes the scrolling wheel extremely difficult to use. HELP!

    You can modify your xorg.conf

    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
    sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    you add

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    EndSection

    And then you restart your session

    Re: Mouse Scroll

    Thanks for the information. Drove me crazy trying terminal mode as a Noob. I input everything without a problem but it didn't seem to fix the scrolling. Are there parameters that I can play with to see if it will change. When I use the wheel scroll it still gets wild and moves too many lines at once.

    Being new I am not sure if I am doing this correctly.
