How to Configure the Logitech USB Wheel Mouse under OS/2

by Domingos Rocha




 * Main board: Asus K7V
 * Chipset: VIA KX133 (VIA VT8371 & VT82C686A)

Required Drivers

 * 1) Mouse: Logitech Wheel Mouse USB (Model M-BD58) 
 * 2) Drivers: USB basic system drivers 
 * 3) USB Mouse driver: 
 * 4) XR_D002 Base Device Driver FixPak released: 
 * 5) Scroll Mouse driver pak: 

HowTo:

 * 1) Install USBBASIC and don't reboot yet!
 * 2) Unpack XR_D002, find the same files installed by USBBASIC and overwrite them. Now reboot.
 * 3) install USBMOUSE and don't reboot yet!
 * 4) find in unpacked XR_D002 the same files installed by USB MOUSE and overwrite them. Now reboot.
 * 5) You'd have the mouse working now. Let's get the scroll thing to work: install SCROLLMS and reboot.
 * 6) Done!

The middle-button function does not work with this set of drivers. Maybe with that one, $paid$, from Software Choice...

This is a really nice hardware. The scroll wheel helps a lot, and not only inside a browser. Working on virtually any plain surface and not needing a pad (it is optical), this mouse is a relief to your hand and wrist.
