xorg.conf question. by shorty82 2006-11-19 12:55:59
I am trying to get my scroll wheel working in Linux (Slackware with KDE to be exact).

I want to try putting the settings that Celticess put here but I don't want to totally lose the settings already there in case it doesn't work. How do I comment out the settings already there?

I have a cordless Optical Trackman from Logitech.

Also, how do I change the functions of the buttons? The forward button opens links in a new tab and the back button reloads the current page, I want them to send me forward and back in the browser.
