Thanks Aaron for posting this.
I am using the beta of MDK 7.1 and I also had the same problem with my MS
Intellimouse . The only way that I could use the wheel mouse was to open a
console as root and type 'imwheel' and then the process would start. If I
closed the window then the wheel would stop.
I'm subscribing to the Cooker lists and read that " 'imwheel' starts
automatically with X ." when I asked for a possible workaround for the
problem I was pleasantly ignored or overlooked.
I tried your workaround and it works great --THANKS!
Eunice
