Well, now that you mention it... :-)
I went out and bought a Logitech Internet Navigator Keyboard last week
for my laptop. It's got the usual array of bonus bucky-buttons along
the top, which all work but haven't been mapped to anything useful yet,
but it also has a scroll wheel on the left-hand side.
I also have an MS flaming-bum mouse, and the following snippet in
XF86Config to deal with it: (It's the secondary mouse on my laptop)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
For those who don't know, the USB mouse driver uses seperate
/dev/input/mouse? devices for each mouse it finds, as well as
/dev/input/mice , which is the aggregate of all events from all mice.
Plugging in the keyboard gives:
Nov 22 13:56:07 fizgig kernel: input1: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Logitech
Logitech] on usb1:6.0
Nov 22 13:56:07 fizgig kernel: input2,hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse
[Logitech Logitech] on usb1:6.1
The scroll wheel is detected as a seperate mouse device, and yes, it
scrolls beautifully.
It also clicks, but I haven't been able to see what (if any) sort of
events it's generating.
