Post Scroll Mouse!
Wont my scroll mouse work under Linux??? The driver floppy that I got from the vendor had only an exe for Windows. But then I didnt need that floppy anyway as Windows detected the mouse during installation and since its been working fine under Windows. But it doesnt work when I use Linux. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What distro are you using?

In RH 7.x just set the mouse type to M$ intellimouse and voila.
Assuming you're using an Intellimouse clone.

Lightbulb Sure its...

I changed the mouse configuration to the Intellimouse Serial from the Generic Serial. Now everything is great...
