BTW, my wheel works OK in KDE, but drives gpm crazy.
Before I start X it behaves OK, but if I started X and exited it, the
mouse will not work. Similarly it won't work if I switch from X to any
other console.
I noticed it happens after I changed PS/2 protocol to imPS/2 in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. 

Anyone knows how to deal with it?

Tnx

Max

  Please read this e-mail till the end, the most important part is at
the
end of it.

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "imPS/2"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"


/etc/sysconfig/mouse:

MOUSETYPE="ps/2"
XMOUSETYPE="MouseManPlusPS/2"
FULLNAME="Logitech MouseMan+/FirstMouse+ (PS/2)"
XEMU3=no
DEVICE=/dev/mouse


You need to run the imwheel software package !

http://jcatki.2y.net/imwheel/

There are also RPMs of it.


This is the *only* way to make it work in Xterm and Netscape. 

KDE does know how to work without the package, so the Kde terminal 
emulator and Konqueror know how to work with it. Also, mozilla works
without the software package.


So, configure your X according to what I said above (I assume that gpm
is
already properly configured). Then, install imwheel. You run imwheel as
yourself (after you login via kdm/gdm/xdm).
