Yes, or so I think. > If one setup this successfully I don't know how would this appeares in > other applications than OOo? Mouse scroll can be set from X server as well as per application basis, that is, you can set Xorg to use a value (e.g., scroll 3 lines at a time) that will be used system wide affecting all of the programs but you can also set a different value for one application which will affect just that app. Firefox, for instance, can be configured to use a different mouse scrolling value so I guess there can be others... I don't know for OpenOffice, though :-? >>> in xorg.conf but this setup only the wheel button and not it's speed >>> or what that is needed for for setup scrolling in Calc or in other >>> applications. >> >> I'm not sure how to achieve this.

There you have it. So the question is now how to instruct that driver (evdev) to use a different scrolling value, I see nothing at all a the man page nor in the docs :-? > Searching with Google using keywords 'evdev scroll wheel' gives to me no > answer for this. Thanks! Yep, there is not much information on the matter or at least I was unable to find a clear way to configure it. I would ask this question directly at Xorg's users mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
