I documented it in my blog, and the ARC case, but I don't remember ever copying-and-pasting that into a man page. I don't know why we wouldn't support it though. > Would the eventual move from Xsun to Xorg on SPARC require that this feature be implemented in Xorg? No - Xsun & Xorg have different feature sets, and there's no expectation that Xorg will do everything Xsun did, since we know it never will. That's not saying we couldn't or wouldn't implement it in Xorg if customers/users asked for it - but step one there would be going to http://bugs.opensolaris.org/ and filing an RFE. Right now, there's no RFE I remember, which means no one has shown enough interest to spend 5 minutes telling us that, and our todo list is overflowing with things people have asked for. I can also release the Xsun code involved if a community member is interested in doing the port - I wrote it all myself and it's unencumbered and in a separate source file (since the wheel code was shared between the keyboard & mouse modules in hopes the kernel USB driver would eventually support keyboards with scroll wheels too). I suspect the Xorg port would be mostly a rewrite around the xorg.conf routines & xf86 ddx layer event functions though. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
