ok


if you have root edit, /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86config


look for a section like this

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"


the "ZAxisMapping" is what you need.


why,where,how, debian?

thanks, i'll try that and let you know how it goes.

but the machine isn't mine. so the os wasn't my choice. It works nice though and beats the hell out of windows. i'm also enjoying opera.
