I've noticed the the Xsession startup does not seem to invoke imwheel
properly.
I ended up adding imwheel -k to Xsetup_0 and got the mouse wheel working
this way.
Harddrake and Drakconf still thinks it's a Standard Mouse no matter what I
do however... This seems to be more of a script issue than anything else.

It's quite strange. Although, I select Intellimouse for my mouse, it
keeps going back to standard. This has been going on for several
releases. It performs like the Intellimouse. However, the graphical
shows standard.
I guess it must be a default setting?
