[hello23518]

Hi all,
I m using Mandrake 9.2. I have a Logitech cordless mouse. My mouse wheel doesn't working. I went to the configure your computer->mousedrake, I tried every option but it didn't worked. Please help me. Thanks.

if you decide you need to edit the XF86Config then you'll need to do that as root

either way, I'm pretty sure you'll need to restart X (i.e. log out, possibly hit ctrl+alt+bkspc)

Drakconf should do it. I think you'll need to restart X before it will take effect though. Just press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace after saving the settings.
Otherwise, post the details of the mouse (PS2 or USB, how many buttons and wheels) and the mouse section of /etc/X11/XF86Config and we'll see what we can do.

The XF86Config file most likely has the mouse type set to PS/2. Add an 'IM' before the PS/2 and you should be all set. Like stated above, you'll need to edit the file as root and restart X for the changes to take effect.
