[lug] 3 button scroll mouse

[Glenn Murray]

One more data point: IMPS/2 does not work for me under XFree 4, but
Intellimouse does.  I added the ZAxisMapping, and nedit scrolls with
no additional configuration (Debian woody).  I have a standard ps/2 MS
Intellimouse.

Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IntelliMouse"
#    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
# To enable the wheel [GM]
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Thanks,
Glenn Murray
