I think I caught this thread a little late, but I've used imwheel with
XFree4 without too much problem and I thought I'd just ask a question
just in case you hadn't tried it yet. First, did you notice that there
are two different config files for XFree? If you're using 4, then you
need to edit the XF86Config-4 file and you have to make sure to follow
the same syntax. The Pointer section would have to be written as
follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
The 'pound' sign is to comment out the emulate sections as they don't
work with the wheel mouse. This setup is for my Logitech trackman
marble wheel mouse, but you would edit it to fit your needs. You also
may need to chmod imwheel with XF4, I can't remember for sure. I'm back
to 3.3.6 for some stability reasons.
Hope this helps (and that I haven't just echoed what's already been
said)
