mouseconfig doesn't change (add/remove) zaxismapping for wheelmouse when updating /etc/X11/XF86Config, like Xconfigurator and anaconda do these days (see bug 13769)
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1
Does this problem still exist in Pinstripe?
I'll fix this.
Fixed in CVS - it now adds it all the time, just like Xconfigurator.
It only adds it to XF86Config-4 not to XF86Config (for XFree-3.3)
That section is rather different... won't touch.
Note that all new configuration files should have this option enabled, so this wouldn't be a problem...
Hmm, people can have custom files laying around and / or have upgraded. As per my new bug I believe that mouseconfig should not depend on the input file except for it containing _a_ mouse section, what is in this section doesn't matter, if it's unknown lett it be if it is an nown thing like MouseType overwrite it. But it's your call in the end, so I won't go and play reopen resolve reopen resolve with you :)
Then they would fix it by rerunning Xconfigurator, not just mouseconfig. Or add it themselves. The section in mouseconfig for XFree 3 tries to parse the entries and keep values you've set and comments and changing it means total rewrite. Won't touch - run Xconfigurator instead.
