Thanks for the help! I wasn't expecting replies so SOON! This seems like a very LIVELY Linux group. It's good to be here.
I looked up xorg.conf (the new name for XF86Config apparently) and found this: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" EndSection I reported the problem because I thought that somebody should know that Foxfire (I think) has found a way to subvert the XF86Config settings. (Is that even POSSIBLE?!), and that KDE is vulnerable to scroll overload. It turns out that the mouse was defective. I upgraded to one of those new-fangled optical mice. (My wife loves it because it glows in the dark.) And now I'm finally getting to enjoy 10.2. What a gorgeous system! A lot of people have done some great work, here! It's too bad the M$ slaves will never get to see it! Next step: install Opera, install kvim, customize KDE keystrokes, fonts, learn xml, etc.. I did make one mistake regarding file-system selection. I'll start a new thread for that. ----- Original Message ---- From: M Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 1:25:14 AM Subject: Re: [opensuse] Mouse "scroll gone wild" crashes 10.2, no problem in 9.0; YAST setting ignored On Thursday 14 June 2007 17:16, Carlos E.
