Re: Wheel mouse not working...oy.
Just as a follow-up, I wanted to let all you kind people know that I got my wheel mouse working! How did I do this? I upgraded my xserver! DOH! Thanks to all who helped...I very much appreciate it. Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Wheel mouse not working...oy.
Thanks once again for the suggestions. Unfortunately, this rotten mouse still ain't working...or at least the wheel (nicknamed the scourge of mankind by myself) isn't. I tried adding the Xterm settings from the aforementioned mouse wheel webpage to .Xresources...didn't work. Also tried it in Mozilla the XMMS playlist, still nothing. I even tried using different window managers (I currently use WindowMaker) such as FVWM2 IceWM...still nothing. I'm really starting to wonder if it IS a hardware problem, regardless of the fact that the wheel mouse work just fine under that OTHER OS (M$Win98). Is this possible? Or instead, is it possible I need to upgrade to a newer version of XFree86? According to everything I've read, this damnthing SHOULD work. Ah well...I can live with it not working...but it'd be nice. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, yadda yadda yadda. How 'bout this: whoever gets my mouse wheel working w/Linux gets a date with my 28 year old sister? Never mind that she's married. :) Of course, if a female fixes it, they get a date with...ME!

Re: Wheel mouse not working...oy.
First off, thanks to both of you for replying...and making me feel dumb. Even after reading all the documentation and all the config files and SEEING that the mouse wheel was represented as buttons 4 5, I never thought about changing the number of buttons in XF86Config to 5. Duh. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Here's the MODIFIED section of my XF86Config: Section Pointer ProtocolIMPS/2 Device /dev/psaux Resolution 200 Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping4 5 EndSection I *think* I've checked everything else. I copied pasted the Netscape entry from the aforementioned wheel mouse page into my .Xresources again just to be sure...no dice. I then tried copying THAT over to /etc/X11/Xresources/netscape to see if it would do anything...but it didn't. I even tried running imwheel again with it's default configuration to no avail. Suddenly I'm REALLY missing the days when I'd use console mode exclusively. I am again, in a word, stumped. Any further help would be greatly appreciated. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [] Bababooey Dragon [] -==UDIC==- The stupider it looks, the more important it probably is. -- J. R.

Re: Wheel mouse not working...oy.
Just a thought, but all this mouse wheel talk is centered around Netscape. Have you tested anything else that utilises the mouse wheel? For instance either Mozilla, or even the XMMS playlist should react to the mouse wheel.

Re: Wheel mouse not working...oy.
FWIW, I tried using icewm and was unable to get the mouse wheel working with Netscape. But when I switched to sawfish (from Helix Gnome), the mouse wheel works in most programs including Netscape and Mozilla. Regards, Jeff -- Help Microsoft end piracy! Give Linux to a friend today!

Wheel mouse not working...oy.
Yep, another cheesebag who can't get his stupid M$ Wheel Mouse to work with Debian. I'm stumped...after consulting all the messages and info about getting it to work, it just refuses to. Maybe after the breakup it will? Sarcasm... Anyway, I've got a basic M$ Wheel Mouse(tm) connected to my PS/2 port. I'm running slink (with some random bits from unstable when I needed them), 2.0.36 and XFree86 3.3.5-1 using the SVGA server. Here's the relevant bit from my XF86Config just to make sure I didn't miss anything: Section Pointer ProtocolIMPS/2 Device /dev/psaux Resolution 200 Buttons 3 ZAxisMapping4 5 EndSection My .Xresources is exactly what's listed on Colas Nahaboo's mouse wheel scroll page (http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/) for Netscape (that's the only thing I'm worrying about right now), so I won't spam it here - trust me, I copied pasted it to make sure. From everything I've seen, it SHOULD work. I know the wheel works, as it performs just fine in that OTHER OS that I don't wanna mention. It works great in X as a middle mouse button...but that damned wheel won't do a thing for me. And I HAVE tried messing around with imwheel to a small degree but couldn't get it to do anything for me either. If anyone can at least point me in the right direction, please let me know. All things considered, it's a minor problem...but once you get used to using the stupid wheel, you go nuts without it. It's the crack of pointing devices, methinks. At any rate, thanks in advance... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [] Bababooey Dragon [] -==UDIC==- The stupider it looks, the more important it probably is. -- J. R.
