Linux Mint Forums

I see that you really have tried to solve the problem before asking for help - much appreciated
I am not quite sure I understand - is it clicking on the scrollwheel you want to act as middle button? That's the default....
As for fast and slow scrolling I have not even heard of such an option, but it would be nice
Take a look at this
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input
This is new from Hardy/Elyssa and even more from Felicia
You could try variations of
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
This wiki goes into detail and the solution should be found there - at least for middle click, smooth scrolling I'm not sure about that
There is also normally a lot to be found from the USB id found in lsusb
That id and linux or ubuntu or intrepid or mint or felicia should give you interesting info
Sorry for not being more helpful but to be that I'd probably have to have the mouse here so I can experiment

That took care of my scroll wheel problem and I was able to solve my search button problem as well. I'll post up how I did it later.

Thanks!

Hi Johnny5,
I know this thread is crazy old, but as I'm having exactly the same issue (specifically I want the search button to function as a middle click) I thought it would be worth asking how you eventually succeeded in making that happen.
I'm running through the same steps, but having no luck, so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
