for me i installed it, ran it, and it handles scrolling up and down, did
not have to do any configuration. i use afterstep so i just put it into
my autoexec to load when afterstep loads.

IMPS/2 is part of X, although ive seen some instances(mainly with MS
wheel mice) where that protocol didn't work and a friend set up the
/dev/gpmdata stuff to get it working see the link above on other
protocols/ways to get the mouse to talk

I tried this with my Logitech Trackman Marble mouse and it didn't work.
All that happened wa that my mouse pointer stuck at the top right of the
X display and didn't do anything.

I downloaded the imwhhel app using apt-get.

You say 'use the imwheel program to scroll' - I am not sure what to do
with inwheel - I read the DEBIAN readme which came with it and put the
relevant files etc. into /etc/X11/imwheel and /etc/X11/Xsession. Tried
to run 'imwheel' in X but without the mose couldn't open an xterm to
type it in!

Is there something I am not doing? Is IMPS/2 available in X or do I need
to compile it in/fetch it from somewhere?

Cheers.

X has built in support for it.

here's my pointer section from XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
Buttons 5
ZaxisMapping 4 5
EndSection

then use the program imwheel to scroll it maps the wheel for ya. been
usin it on many machines for a year or 2 and it works great. (all
logitech trackman marble wheel)
