? have a microsoft trackball and it works fine with the following settings
in XF86Config:
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
Comment out "emulate3buttons" and "emulate3timeout"
The device is "psaux" or something like that.
Then, I put "imwheel -p" in the autostart folder of KDE. Works fine with all
applications.

Excepted for the copy of imwheelrc in my home directory (is it really
necessary?), these settings correspond to those resulting from my 7.1
installation, but I wouldn't say it worked fine, as you can see from the
list below. At the moment I've given up to imwheel: either it doesn't
work properly with my mouse (logitech wheel mouse), or the settings
saved at installation time are wrong.
