I have some cheap wheel mouse: Genius Netscroll. It works perfectly. First
I selected MS IW in the config (though the last tiime I was looking around,
standard mouse was highlighted), and I put: exec /usr/bin/imwheel -k in my
/etc/rc.local file. Running 7.2 with the 2.2.17 kernel and KDE 2.0.0. It
even works in Netscape (but I had to do something extra to get that to work.)
