RE: Scroll wheel not working in X
When I last tried to use a mouse through a KVM (one with external power and one without), I was using RH7.0 and XFree 3 ( I think). Scrolling didn't work on either of the linux boxes, so I hooked a separate mouse direct to the linux box and forgot about it until now. I unplugged the mouse direct to the linux box and plugged in the KVM mouse cable. On the non-powered KVM, RH8.0, XFree 4... scrolling works just fine now! Maybe the newer XFree? I'll try it on the powered KVM when I get back to work on Monday. Anyway, I have a little more desk space now... and no more grabbing the wrong mouse. :) Doug Interesting...perhaps it's the KVM switch that I use then... Craig I gave up trying to get linux to recognize the wheel through my kvm device (both at home and at work). It works fine on the windows boxes connected through the kvms, but not on the linux boxes. I finally gave up and connected a mouse direct to the linux box. Scrolls just fine that way. I've heard that some kvm's work with the wheel... and some don't. Doug I had given up a long time ago because I really didn't care enough to figure it out BUT this thread got me thinking about it. Turned out that I got it to work finally...I had 2 mice configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config Mouse0 DevInputMice. I commented out the latter throughout and restarted X and it now works. Not important but wanted to let you know that if you look at it, the answer is quite possibly in front of you.

RE: Scroll wheel not working in X
I had a similar problem... I remember that the problem occured because I had installed the mouse incorrectly during installation. to solve this i used the program that comes with redhat. I changed it to generic wheel mouse. In another machine it was the opposite, i had it in generic mouse and had to change it to something else (microsoft/intellimouse). If after changing your mouse it stops responding do a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart X. hope it works Rigo --- Wolfgang Gill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I found that it only seems to work in Linux with the IMPS/2 protocol.

I have tried the same mouse on other RedHat 8.0 and it works. I tried all the configuration tools/parameters for the XF86Config file I could find but it still won't work. I'm using the IMPS/2 protocol and the /dev/mouse device in X. I tried the mouse on both the USB and the PS/2 port and got the same result. I also tried a different Logitech wheel mouse... The problem seems to be linked directly to that PC (the wheel works in windose on that PC)! I'm not sure what to try next... I'm hopping some some of you could illuminate me! Thanks!
