This is a total stab in the dark, but maybe GPM is messing you up. Try turning it off in /etc/sysconfig/mouse by setting the line wheel=yes to wheel=no and restarting X.
If that works, why yes, I'm a genius. If not, I didn't think it would work anyway but it was worth a shot :) Best regards, David -----Original Message----- From: David Savolainen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] mouse wheel and tv card problems It does not appear as if my XF86Config-4 file is the problem. There was no real difference between your snippets and my config. I even dug up a backup copy I made not long ago when the wheel was working properly, and there was no change in wheel behavior. What else governs mouse wheel behavior? How are wheel movements interpreted by the system?
