It's a "Trust Ami Track Dual Scroll" trackball with 2 scroll wheels which claims to be Intellimouse compatible. Turns out this is a lie. It's more like BusMouse data on /dev/psaux. X doesn't want to know about such a combination, so I've hacked the X source to add a suitable protocol. So far, it seems to work. I just need to install something in which I can use the horizontal scroll wheel so I can test that - vertical one works, so it should be OK. Once I've done this I might post the patch for the benefit of anyone else with one of these. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
