So two solutions : I have the line in XF86Config-4 .Problem is imwheel works great with all Netscape components. The Xdefaults files on the net I've tried either didn't work when numlock was pressed or the wheel didin't work in composer. > > 1) launch imwheel in .xsession, not .xinitrc with a line like "exec > /usr/bin/X11/imwheel &". If gdm is Debian-compliant, it should use .xsession. This didn't work.(is /usr/bin/imwheel btw)I tried also "exec xterm & " and this didn't work either.So apparently the helix-gdm ingnores the .xsession > 2) abandon imwheel, as most modern apps have built-in wheel support. > Konqueror and Mozilla are very good now, even for Java, PHP or plugins. > > Hope it helps, > Konqueror is OK as a replacement for Netscape at those pages where Netscape crasps out..As for Mozilla not there yet.Too slow and the mail app crashes intermitent.And what can I say,I've been using Netscape since version 2 .I like it.!:-) I'll try kdm and see what that does. Thanks anyway
