Hey Hey,
 1.How can the mouse (logitech LX3-optical) be configured, to enable web page scrolling with the mouse wheel?

2.On my 4.1 sound system, I am unable to get the rear speakers to play. How can I fix this? I use a SB audigy 2 ZS sound card.

Thanks in advance....flip city.

1.How can the mouse (logitech LX3-optical) be configured, to enable web page scrolling with the mouse wheel?

Look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (open a terminal and type "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf").
The input device stanza should look something like this (esp. the ZAxisMapping line):

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver      "mouse"
Option      "Protocol" "auto"
Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

If it does not look lie that edit that file (you need to be root) .

2.On my 4.1 sound system, I am unable to get the rear speakers to play. How can I fix this? I use a SB audigy 2 ZS sound card.

While you are playing a multi-channel sound file, open a terminal, type "alsamixer" and adjust the sliders until you get sound from all channels. The "m" key will mut/unmute channels, the up/down arrow keys are used to adjust the channels.

This is what I see in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

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

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier   "Mouse1"
    Driver   "mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

#    Option     "Protocol"      "Auto"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"

# The mouse device.  The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS0"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS1"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

#    Option "Protocol"   "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"      "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"   "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Not sure where to make the suggested changes.
 RESOLVED the sound configuration,though!

Add this line:

Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

after the "Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"" line in that file. (You need to be root to edit that file).

But I don't understand what happened because during the install you should have chosen the correct mouse configuration in the first place

that looks like he is using the "vesa" xorg.conf file

Hey ALL IS WELL... I reinstalled vector after borking the xorg.conf file. I placed the axis config in the wrong line, then I couldn't get Xorg to work again...but ALL IS WELL...configured with radeon drivers; then configured my mouse through the CC .ALL IS WELL now and thanks for your advice and concern.
