Yes, it is possible and even easy. Definitely read the available HOTWOs. This may also help - the note I wrote to myself to remember how I got the wheel working both as a scrolling wheel and as the middle button: - download imwheel from freshmeat and then make sudo make install - change XF86Config: 55c55 < Protocol "PS/2" --- > Protocol "IMPS/2" 56a57 > ZAxisMapping 4 5 60c61 < Emulate3Buttons --- > # Emulate3Buttons - modify gpm configuration: type=imps2 - add to .xinitrc: imwheel There will be little differences depending on the Linux system you run and how you start X, etc. This is for Debian 2.1 and running X with "startx" (vs. xdm).
