I guess I'm glad that I'm not alone Christoph. Like you, xev shows no activity for the wheel. As far as it's being a hardware related thing, unless 3 mice have died of the same dreaded disease, it's not hardware. Of the 3 I've tried 2 are logitech trackballs (USB) and the 3rd is a no-name intellimouse (PS/2). I'm at a loss here. There is an app called mev that will run without X that, when I run from vc/2 shows some action.
On left click press down: mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00 (on release) mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00 on right click (press and release): mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00 mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00 Center button (Depress and release scroll wheel) mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00 mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00 Scroll wheel up then down: mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00 mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00 So, I guess this shows that the scroll wheel is sending a signal. I have no idea if it's getting to the right place Ernie On Tuesday 29 November 2005 02:35 pm, a tiny voice compelled Christoph Eckert to write: > > I've just moved from XFree86 to xorg and updated my KDE and now my > > wheel mouse doesn't scroll anymore.
