Re: [Cooker] Wheel mouse support in 7.1/Cooker
Hmmm... I'm not sure what to tell you. I've been using logitech trackman marble w/ wheel on both my machines here at home without problem. I do include the imwheelrc file in the $user directory because that's the way it was originally intended to be used. I don't know if that's changed, but why not try it? I also believe that all the logitech wheel mice use the same protocol at this point, so yours should work. I'm currently using XFree 4.0, but I've also used 3.3.6 - I'm using MDK 7.1 final, but it also worked for RedHat and MDK 7.0. At first I was thinking that maybe it was gnome that was giving you the problem, but I know that it definitly works with kde (which you've said doesn't work at all for you). I would try adding the imwheelrc file and see what happens. I hope that something has helped here; but since this isn't the support list, I'll just say "good luck".

[...] Have you launch Imwheel? Wheel work fines in all applications with it. Actually, I think imwheel is the culprit: it sure doesn't deliver what promised. So, waiting for a better understanding of how it works, I'd like to disable it: can I safely uninstall it or is it better to comment it out (what's the script in question?)? I must say I am mildly disappointed with this release, mainly because of details like this; even Netscape is behaving funny, when I launch it the window is blank and useless for about 5 minutes, then it comes to life: never seen this before, abrupt termination was the norm :) Mind you: it still is one of the best, if not the best, Linux distribution IMHO.
