mouse module: ignores the mouse wheel checkbox

Run the mouse module, set the wheel scroll checkbox on. The results?
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
included in xorg.conf.

Ok, run it again, this time set it off. The results?
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
included in xorg.conf.

can you check the contents of /var/lib/sax/apidata after you have
disabled the mouse wheel ?

Stefan I noticed you did some changes to the mouse module and I think
you also want to switch it off ? ...I'm wondering

The data are correct, for disabled wheel the entry looks like this:

1      ZAxisMapping

Only for 11.2. It will remain on 11.1/SLE11.

This is what you're seing in the mouse section of xorg.conf? Really? It should
be 

  Option  "ZAxisMapping" ""

instead (which doesn't help either as we've seen before in a report you've filed as well).
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2009-05-18 11:08:48 UTC 
When disabling mouse wheel SaX2 just removes that option completely. Unfortunately enabling the mouse wheel, i.e. "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is meanwhile the default. I'm reluctant to still address such minor changes in SaX (who the hell wants to disable the wheel mouse?), now that we remove the mouse module completely anyway ...

==> WONTFIX

Workaround for you: 

  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "8 9"

There shouldn't be any application, which listens to button 8/9 by default.

I was asked about apidata so I was writing about apidata, not xorg.conf.

I know. It isn't.

Yes, that's correct.

In xorg.conf? Not true.

Wouldn't it be more sane to shutdown all such reports initially instead of discussing them? :-) Or even better when selecting "yast" product show reminder which components will be removed, thus no point filling the report.

Thank you for the tip, I'll try it out.
