Check it twice, maybe turn off the mouse and unplug/re-plug the receiver 
it solves the issue.

Open it and check if there is dirt in the spokewheel. This will block

My mouse wheel seems to have (suddenly) stopped working and will not

Run xev and the scroll the wheel and check the output.

You should see something like this:

Re: mouse-wheel on a laptop?

[Louis Wust]

For starters, have you tried using the mouse on a different computer?
Certainly it is possible that the mouse wheel itself is not functioning.

I assume that you are trying to use the mouse in a graphical (X) session?
>From a terminal window, try running the "xev" command, available in the
"x11-utils" package (which is probably already installed). This will popup a
nondescript window with a black square.

Hover the cursor over the window and then try to scroll up and down with the
mouse wheel. Do lines appear in the terminal window? They should indicate
ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events for button 4 (up) or button 5 (down).

There are plenty of other things which might be wrong, but start with these
two.

mouse-wheel on a laptop?

[Sharon Kimble]

I have an Entroware notebook computer, model W950PU, which when it boots shows 
it as a 'style-note', and I can disable the touch pad when I use a USB mouse.

But I can't get the mouse-wheel working!

So how can I get full functions with the mouse please on this laptop?

Thanks

Mouse wheel scrolling hesitates

[Fred Okuma]

Hi,
My mouse wheel behaves in a bit strange way.

Right after moving into an application window, neither up nor down
scroll works until the second wheel "bump." Subsequent scrolls work fine
until I move out from the window.

I use stretch (9.5 or maybe 9.6) mate desktop on AMD E-450, USB-wired
Logitec mouse.

Now the funny part: some application respond to the wheel scroll right
from the first bump; some don't.

In stretch 9.5 installed mate desktop:
atril,
frefox, and
thunderbird work fine;

caja,
libreoffice,
pluma, and
mate-terminal miss the first bump;

In stretch 9.5.0 live mate desktop:
(debian-live-9.5.0-amd64-mate.iso)
atril,
firefox,
pluma, and
mate-terminal work fine;

caja and
libreoffice miss the first bump;

In stretch 9.6 live mate desktop:
(debian-live-9.6.0-amd64-mate.iso)
atril,
firefox,
pluma, and
mate-terminal work fine;

caja and
libreoffice miss the first bump;

In stretch 9.6 live gnome desktop:
(debian-live-9.6.0-amd64-gnome.iso)
firefox works fine;

evince,
gedit,
libreoffice,
nautilus, and
gnome-terminal miss the first bump;

In jessie 8.11 live mate-desktop:
(debian-live-8.11.0-amd64-mate-desktop.iso)
all above mentioned programs work fine.

Zoom-up/down by a mouse wheel behave the same way. That is, works fine
on the good program window, miss the first ctrl/wheel-up-or-down on the
unfortunate program window.

If you have two USB mice connected, say A and B, alternate 'wheeling'
responds similarly, like,
A-up-one,
B-up-one,
A-down-one,
B-up-one...will never get any response from unfortunate programs.

Any suggestions?

Good morning.

Mouse wheel is super-sensitve, manageable but annoying.

Therefore I decided to wait some time because I expected the bug to
disappear. After installation of a libgtk-3.0-update today everything
is fine. I tested it with evince and gedit.

I'm using Xfce on sid. The behaviour has improved in the last day or
two, but it still isn't right. I mostly see it with Nautilus, or Files
as it is now called. Mixing mouse scrolling with clicks and drags in
the vertical scrollbar is still sometimes giving unexpected results,
and it now sometimes jumps to the top as well as the bottom.

I reported it on the 12th, 792...@bugs.debian.org, having seen it
happening for a few days. I have to admit I don't normally report bugs
immediately, as sid is an extremely moving target, and most new bugs
disappear after a couple of days.

I see it's been merged with another bug and marked fixed. I'll give it
another day or two and will reopen if it persists.

I use Openbox without any desktop environment and I saw this problem
just yesterday. In my case, the PDF was very large (70+ pages) and the
scrollbar did not jump all the way to the bottom when I scrolled down
with the mouse wheel, but it did go much further than I expected. This
only happened when scrolling down, not when scrolling up.

As you described, moving the mouse off of the evince window and then
back onto the evince window seems to trigger the effect. It doesn't seem
to matter where the mouse moved or even if the window actually lost
focus -- as long as the mouse moved out of the window, the effect was
triggered. But the "jump" would only happen once until the next time the
mouse was moved in this manner. After the "jump," manipulating the
scroll position with the mouse scroll wheel behaved normally.

Do you remember what other apps have exhibited this behavior? Is it
possible that it was really only evince? I didn't actually try any other
applications when I saw this behavior, nor do I really have any other
GTK3 apps installed.

At least now we know it's not XFCE! But until we pin down what is
causing this, I don't feel comfortable reporting a bug -- I'm not sure
which package it could be, either.

The trouble is that I am no longer seeing this behavior in evince, which
makes it difficult to run further experiments. I'll keep an eye out and
report back if I see it again.

GTK3-apps: Scrollbar jumps to the bottom after scrolling with mouse wheel when regaining focus

[Nils Dallmeyer]

Hello,

I run a GTK3-app with scrollbars (for example evince with a big PDF
file opened) and the vertical scrollbar is positioned somewhere above
the bottom. I use XFCE and if I move the cursor to the taskbar and back
again to evince and then I scroll a little bit up or down, the
scrollbar jumps to the bottom (thus evince jumps to the last page).
This is only one example, it seems that the loss of focus is enough to
cause this bug in any GTK3-app with scrollbars.

GTK2-apps and QT-4/5-apps don't make any trouble, therefore I guess it
has something to do with GTK3 and/or XFCE but I am not able to find out
which package is affected. I currently use the Testing Distribution
(Debian 4.0.8-1 (2015-07-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux). The bug occured the
first time before a few days.

Best regards,
Nils Dallmeyer

mouse wheel spurious events (too sensitive) with evdev

[Vincent Lefevre]

The wheel of my new mouse is very sensitive: when I click on it
(middle button), it also often generates a scroll event (button
4 or 5). This is also sometimes the case when I'm just touching
the wheel. How can I prevent these events from occurring?

For instance, the driver could start generating a button 4/5
event only when the wheel has been scrolled by a minimum amount
(or ignore the first button 4/5 event of a sequence).

Note: I want a solution at the system (driver) level, not at the
application level, because all applications are obviously affected.

I didn't find anything about that in the evdev(4) man page (the
idea is something like EmulateWheelInertia, but this one is for
wheel emulation).

Mouse wheel issue on current Ubuntu and Debian releases

[Ralf Mardorf]

On Ubuntu Maverick 32-bit, Ubuntu Natty 64-bit and Debian Squeeze 64-bit
the mouse wheel doesn't work. It's ok for older Ubuntu and Debian
installs, but those aren't installed any more, just old openSUSE 11.2
64-bit still is on my computer and there the mouse wheel still and
always is ok.
Sometimes the mouse wheel randomly works for those Ubuntus and the
Debian install, but this happens very seldom.

It's not related to the usage of a xorg.conf, this happens with or
without a xorg.conf, at least I tested this for Debian.

For Ubuntu Natty and Debian stable I tried this (see
http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/341.html ).

# apt-get update
# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse

And to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I added

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection

but this didn't change anything.

Then I removed the xorg.conf from Debian stable, to ensure that it's not
xorg.conf related, but the issue didn't disappear.

On Ubuntu Natty I edited ..

$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/*.fdi
 







.. to ...

$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/*.fdi

.. and command out the server flags and any
mouse entry too from xorg.conf.

Rebooting Natty for the first time the mouse wheel did work.
Rebooting Natty for the second and any additional time the mouse wheel
didn't work anymore.

For the moment I let this issue rest and try to fix other debianoid
issues on my machine. Again, for older installs of Ubuntu and Debian
there never was such an issue for the mouse wheel. I don't know how it
is for the current Suse release. The Suse release on my machine is ok
for the mouse wheel, but as mentioned before, 11.2 is an outdated
release.

I never noticed this behavior before... really cool actually!
Regarding the difference you've noted, have you changed the taskbar behavior 
at all? Perhaps you've changed the 'group similar tasks' function?
Just guessing...

mouse wheel behavior in KDE 3.4

[Alexandru Cabuz]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to KDE 3.4 in testing and it seems like the mouse wheel 
behavior is different. Now, when I place the mouse over an application button 
on the KDE panel and I turn the wheel, it switches **berween** applications.

Before, it used to switch between the different windows of the **same** 
application.

I liked it better before and I want to go back to that behavior but I cannot 
find a setting in the Desktop Manager, and google shows nothing.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: mouse wheel

[Wackojacko]

ok i should read some more documentation, I am sorry.


That's OK we all have to learn :)


But on the other hand i think that dpkg-reconfigure should say me if
it wrote or not the configuration file to disk.


I think this only applies to this file and is as such a known 'bug' or 
'feature' and there is a work around once you know about it !  I'm not sure 
anything is being done about this as Xfree86 is being dropped in favour of 
X.org in the new releases.

Its actually in the header of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  It tells you 
how to reset the MD5 sum of the file before running dpkg-reconfigure to 
ensure the file is recreated.  It also advises you to back up the config 
file first, especially important if you have edited by hand, e.g. added 
specific monitor mode lines etc.

You should describe your problem more informative so others figure out
what kind of problem you're excactly facing at.
- What kind of mouse ?
- Which version of X ?
- Whisch kernel ?
- How is your X configuration looks like ?
- What "cheat" you had tried as you said ?

Go into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and under the mouse Input Device
section, add something like:

Option "Buttons" "7"

mouse wheel doesn't work any longer

[Joachim Reichel]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Thinkpad A30p and now the mouse wheel doesn't work any
longer. It has a built-in "mouse" (more a pen/trackball, no wheel) and a
external USB mouse with mouse wheel. "cat /dev/input/mice | hexdump" does not
show any events for the mouse wheel, same for /dev/psaux and /dev/gpmdata.

Before the pgrade, "grep -i 'usb\|mouse' /var/log/messages" reported

Jun  1 09:39:32 mpino1203 kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 3
Jun  1 09:39:36 mpino1203 kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using

but now I just have

"lsmod | grep 'usb\|mouse'" reports

mousedev   10476  1

Note that usbhid is not loaded, but loading doesn't solve the problem.

I don't have any clue how to track this down. Any ideas?

Trust 250 mouse - wheel problem

[Diego]

Hi, I'm using Debian 3.1/Xfree86 4.3.0.1 with a Trust 250sp mouse.
The problem is that the wheel is not working, only the wheel.
I don't know if this helps, but the mouse works if I configure it like
PS/2, GlidePointPS/2, MouseManPlusPS/2, and doesn't work like ImPS/2,
NetMousePS/2, NetScrollPS/2, ThinkingMousePS/2, ExplorerPS/2.
I also tried with imwheel but nothing ... although it is not required
on Xfree>=4, right?
My XF86Config-4 is like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

It doesn't work over neither gnome nor kde.
Thanks in advance!
Diego.

Re: Making my mouse wheel work on the fly [SOLVED]

[Icebiker]

Hi
This was an old item wherein I had problems with my mouse wheel not working 
when I switched between a Linux and an XP box. I recently solved this 
problem by buying a new KVM. It's a 4 port Aten CS-14 which I got 
cheap-cheap (~US$70 new) on e-bay.

Now my keyboard never goes funny on either XP or Linux and the mouse wheel 
always works on Linux. It's been extremely well behaved for the last 4 
weeks.

I don't know how to generalize this, except perhaps that newer KVMs might be 
more Linux friendly (my DLink was 3+ years old).

I'm sure it is, as we have an older Raritan around here that exhibits
the problem you mention. Switching to a text console and back does fix
it for us, however.

Assuming it is a problem with XFree86, you should run

  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Choose "ImPS/2" as "the entry that best describes your mouse".
Answer "No" to the "Emulate 3 button mouse?" question.
Answer "Yes" to the "Enable scroll events from mouse wheel?" question.
Then run

  dexconf

This will generate the XFree86 configuration file based on the debconf
information (that you just entered via dpkg-reconfigure).

You need to select a mouse protocol that supports mouse wheels. The PS/2
protocol does not, the IMPS/2 protocol does. You also need to configure
the ZAxisMapping option. If your mouse has three buttons, the mouse
section should look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

This is for a PS/2 mouse with a wheel and three buttons. You can edit
the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 manually, or run

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Mouse Wheel not working.

[briand]

Typically you have to use the magic lines in the XF86Config file:

  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

In the input device section for your mouse.

It may be that the config missed this.

Not sure how kde could think it's working.  It wouldn't be getting any
events.

Trying running "xev" and see if you get mouse 4 & 5 events.

I just tried setting CONFIG_PSMOUSE to "m" and loaded this module as the
last one in /etc/modules, and now I hav a working touchpad *and*
USB-wheelmouse. Anyway, this behaviour is very strange, maybe it is
worth a bugreport to the kernel people?

No, I don't have this option in the bios. I can only set the PS/2 mouse
to "internal (touchpad only)", "external (external PS/2 mouse only, even
though I don't have a PS/2 port...)" and "simultaneous".

Thanks for your help,

This is probably a side effect of moving PS2 mouse handling to input
subsystem in 2.6 (it was standalone in 2.4).

That sounds helpful. The problem is: I need PS/2 also, because this is a
notebook computer and very often I don't have the mouse with me. OTOH,
the keyboard is not USB, so I could first look into the BIOS and try if
I have such an option. I'll report about my progress...

I had the same issue recently... the solution is to set CONFIG_PSMOUSE
to "n" (or "m", and just don't load the module).  The problem is most
likely that your BIOS has PS/2 emulation enabled, which typically
doesn't support the wheel, and the PSMOUSE code is handling the mouse. 
The USB subsystem includes it's own mouse drivers, which will be used
as long as PSMOUSE support is disabled.  Apparently 2.4 would go ahead
and use the USB drivers in either case... no idea why that changed.

You could also disable PS/2 emulation in your BIOS setup, but I
wouldn't recommend this solution.  Among other things, it can make the
lilo menu inaccessible if you use a USB keyboard.

Mouse wheel does not work with kernel 2.6.x

[Joerg Johannes]

Hi everybody

This is a bit strange to me, and I don't exactly know how to track the
problem down. Here are the symptoms:

I have a logitech USB mouse which works great using 2.4 kernels. With
exactly the same setup in X, the same mouse attached to the same
computer works still, but only the three buttons: scrolling the wheel
doesn't do anything, pressing it works as "paste" like it should.
Obviously it can't be the X configuration which is faulty, because it
still works when I boot back to 2.4. Also the kernel configuration
should be OK, because otherwise the mouse wouldn't work at all.

I, too, had trouble with that!  My solution, finally, for a ps2 mouse was:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Choose ImPS2 for mouse.
Your mileage may vary, as they say, but that may be a good starting point.

mouse wheel problems after upgrade to 2.6.5 kernel

[Erik Steffl]

  it looks that after update to 2.6.5 kernel (debian source package) 
the mouse wheel does not work very well.

 *It doesn't seem to be X related*

Here's the most basic/simple situation/symptoms:

  I stop X, read bytes from /dev/psaux (c program, using open and 
read). for each mouse action there are few bytes read, usually number 
(depends on action), 8 (almost all the time, at least for clicks)), few 
zeros. I don't have exact log but here's what it looked like:

  left click:   some number, 8, 0, 0
  middle click: some number, 8, 0, 0
  right click:  some number, 8, 0, 0
  side button:  middle click number, 8, 0, 0
  wheel clockwise:  8, 0, 0
  wheel counterclockwise:   8, 0, 0
  exact numbers don't matter (I think), the point is that it is not 
possible to tell side button click from middle click and the wheel 
rotation sends same info no matter in which direction the wheel is 
rotated, it seems to miss the first byte that in case of other buttons 
tells what's going on.

  BTW X windows is confused in the same way (I guess because that's 
what it gets from kernel driver - using xev I found that it thinks the 
sidebutton is button 2 and that turning the wheel is not an event at all).

  any ideas how to make kernel understand the mouse better?

  system:

  debian unstable
  kernel-source-2.6.5
  logitech cordless mouseMan wheel
  mouse connected via /dev/psaux
  mouse related kernel config:

#
# Userland interfaces
#
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1280
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m
# CONFIG_INPUT_TSDEV is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set
...
#
# Input Device Drivers
#
...
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
  the mouse used to work with 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.

  TIA

If (*IF*) your mouse uses the IMPS/2 protocol then
edit /etc/gpm.conf and set
protocol=imps2
repeat_type=raw
you may also need to set
device=/dev/psaux
or
device=/dev/input/mice
depending on the type of mouse you have (you didn't say ...)
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and change the relevant mouse section
to contain
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device   "/dev/gpmdata"

Restart gpm and X.  If that doesn't work, give a few more details - ie
what mouse you have and what is currently in /etc/gpm.conf and
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

The alternate solution is for the kernel to disable /dev/psaux
emulation.  Herbert Xu did this for the 2.6.2 kernel image, at
Branden's request, but has since decided to revert that change since a
lot of people seem to be simultaneously

  - able to edit XF86Config-4 to remove the second mouse device,
leaving only /dev/psaux

  - unable to read enough docs to understand why this breaks, when
upgrading to kernel 2.6

Who would have thought users could be in both of those categories at
once?  But in any case, as the "X can't find my mouse anymore" bug
reports started rolling in, Herbert decided he had best just revert the
change and let bug reports like the one in this thread happen instead.

The kernel sends the output of a ps2 mouse to /dev/psaux, the output of
the first mouse to /dev/input/mouse0 and the output of all mice emulated as
imps2 to /dev/input/mice. I think the easiest solution if you don't
want to access each mouse differently or use some special driver option
to just use one moues stanza with /dev/input/mice and driver ImPS2.

Aaaah!!!

Thank you so very much.
That's a lot better.
I had two mice configured, as you (correctly) guessed: "Configured 
Mouse" and "Generic Mouse". After "Generic Mouse" was `commented out' in 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 the problem was solved.

Thanks!

Re: Adjusting the speed of mouse-wheel scrolling [repost]

[John W Clark]

Hi Kristian,

I think I'm having the same (or similar) problem as you. Pity no wise 
linux-guru's out there have responded yet.

I've recently switched to using OpenBox and ROX-Session for my GUI/wm. 
However, my situation seems a little different from yours, in that I can't 
say I've noticed wheel scrolling speeds increase across all applications. 
Rather, I've found that when I switch desktops in OpenBox using the mouse 
wheel, it jumps by two desktops at a time.

However, if I use FluxBox instead of OpenBox, switching desktops with the 
wheel works fine (1 scroll moves by 1 desktop). So originally I was thinking 
it was just an OpenBox bug.

Was wondering if you assumed it was a system wide (kernel) issue, or whether 
or not it's just an OpenBox bug.

Hopefully by relating my experience we can both come closer to a solution.

I've posted a bug report on the OpenBox bugzilla site.

Note: I'm running Mandrake 9.2, not debian. But if this problem is a result of 
the latest kernel (I'm running 2.4.22-26) then we're both in the same boat.

PS - If you could reply to my email address (as well as the list) that would 
be helpful, as I'm not subscribed to this list.

imwheel basically maps mouse wheel events to key press events, so if
you really wanted to you could make your mouse wheel type 
if you twiddle it in an xterm :-) IIRC its config file is of the
self-documenting type. Install it and have a fiddle.

Frustrated: How to map mouse wheel to PageUp and PageDown?

[Bob Freemer]

I've looked hard on google and in the archives, but can not seem to find directions 
anywhere.

My mouse wheel works, but is not as fast as I prefer.  I would like it to universally 
do page up and page down instead of scolling by lines.  It seems this would have the 
proper effect in all applications, since pageup and pagedown are relatively universal.

Anyone know how to do this?  For reference, I'm running IceWM (there is no setting I 
can find in documentation or obvious config files).

Hate to compare to a poor OS, but Windows has a simple setting for this.

Thanks much,
Bob

My mouse started to act a bit differently after updating to kernel 2.6. 
Otherwise it's quite nice (the differences, I mean), but the mouse-wheel 
scroll is a bit too fast.

For instance I can't switch desktops in openbox by 
mouse-wheel-scrolling, because it scrolls too fast... (The scroll-speed 
has increased overall, not just in openbox.)

So any ideas on how to adjust it?

Reposting since the last one didn't receive any replies.
The accelerated scroll-speed is really annoying.

mouse wheel scroll events under matlab

[Micha Feigin]

Anyone had any success with getting the mouse wheel to work under
matlab? Seems like the mouse wheel events are recognise as button the
right button. Is there a way to fool it into thinking its scroll events
without direct wheel support from the program?

All this sounds like some kind of desktop manager issue to me. I just don't
know enough about your environment to figure it out. Sometime when it's
working, run appres mutt and capture the output to a file somewhere. Next
time it fails, do the same and compare the old (working) output with the
new (broken) output. I haven't a clue when or how it could be changing,
however.

You're pretty much going to have to dig for clues on your own. The only
thing you can do which will definitely work dependably is a nasty kludge:
Edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm (it's a file) and add the mutt
lines from your .Xdefaults file. Note that this will break if/when you
upgrade the xterm package.

New problems ;<

Intermittently, this *stops* working!

This morning, I got up and my mutt session from yesterday performs as
expected, except *NO* mouse wheel up nor down.  Nor did invoking this
again help the situation:

xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

I had to logoff and logon again; and, then, I had to invoke xrdb --
finally, it worked as expected.

Now, I was out of the office for the afternoon, and I came home to find
that scrolling up now scrolls up the entire terminal, *not* just the
pager portion.  In fact, composing this message in vim, I can scroll up
into stuff I earlier shelled out to, but I cannot scroll down into my
sig ?!?!

What do you think?

No, it would happen within mutt.  The key mapping causes xterm to send
the character '<' to the application running in the terminal instead
of handling the scroll event itself.  The reason it doesn't work with
rxvt is rxvt doesn't use xterm's key mapping resources.  (this isn't
to say that rxvt absolutely can't support the feature, but only that
the given solution is xterm-specific and I don't know anything about
rxvt)

This key mapping suggestion is really cool, and I should try it out
sometime :-).

While reading a message in mutt's pager, I can now use my mouse wheel to
move up and down _inside_the_message_, rather than using [enter],
[backspace], [pgup] or [pgdown].  So, to answer your question, the
scrolling is confined to mutt's pager, rather than the entire terminal.

Unfortunately, this comes at a price.  xterm behaves differently than
rxvt for colors, fonts, screen flashing, cut-and-paste, &c.

I am still struggling to get my xterm mutt to behave as rxvt mutt in all
other respects . . .

i'm trying to figure out what you mean by this -- just that you can
scroll upwards in your terminal, or that, while viewing a message in
mutt in xterm, you can scroll the message up?  that is, does the

Well, each Xt-based app *should* give information on its X resources in its
man page, and xterm does. It is also possible to interrogate a running
Xt-based app on what resources it supports (though, AFAICT, not their
current values) using editres. You can also find out what resources are
applicable to a particular app with appres. Finally, there are some (old)
books on X Toolkit Intrinsics (a.k.a. Xt) which will explain the difference
between XAPPLRESPATH, XFILESEARCHPATH, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, and others
(there is a book on SGI's online bookshelf, which is where I learned it;
when I say online, I mean on their machines rather than on the web). So:

man xterm xrdb editres appres
book(s) on Xt

Now that I have this working, what documentation of xdefaults and
xresources should I have on my debian boxen?

   # man -k xdefaults xresources
   XDefaultString (3x)  - convert text lists and text property structures
   xresources: nothing appropriate.

I haven't delved into this side of X in several years.  There are other
things, similar to this remapping, that I may find useful; also,
changing fonts, &c.

If I want to RTFM, where do I go for these things?

My bad ;<  I assumed that the #override \n\  was some type of comment,
and cut it from my last post.

Indeed, it is required, and does not work without it.

This is _exactly_ what was in my ~/.Xdefaults:

   mutt.vt100.translations:  #override \n\
None:  string(>>) \n\
None:  string(<<) \n  

Now I have this, which also works:

   mutt.vt100.translations:  #override \n\
None:  string(<<) \n\
None:  string(>>) \n

I cut-and-pasted from the original email, and -- somehow -- had trailing
whitespace, as you surmised.

Now, sequence does *not* matter, and I can scroll with my mouse wheel in
mutt -- just as long as I use xterm, instead of rxvt.

Thank you, for your ideas and patience . . .

That's just bizarre. You should need at least a \n\ on the first line. And
the order shouldn't matter at all (except that the last line shouldn't have

Run the following once (you may need to do it every time you log in):

xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

Put the following in a script somewhere:

#!/bin/sh
exec xterm -name mutt -e sh -c 'eval `resize -u`; mutt'

That script will bring up mutt in a new xterm which will use the correct X
resources. The -name flag is the important bit, since it matches the X
resource name.

OK, I have created a standalone ~/.Xdefaults, including *only* your
suggestion; and, I have added your two (2) bind's to ~/.muttrc.

I am not sure about xrdb; but, I did /etc/init.d/kdm restart -- is it
the same?

Nevertheless, although the mutt bind's work by hand, they do *not* work
via mousewheel.

What do you think?

mutt doesn't do meeces at all.

no, imwheel won't help.

you could always pipe long messages through a CLI-www-browser
(elinks/wm3/whatever) since they tend to know about mouses.

mouse wheel scrolling in mutt ???

[Michael D. Schleif]

Seems like such a simple little thing.

Yes, I know that this is not really on-topic.

However, when I am reading long emails, it would really be nice to use
the mouse wheel to scroll down the page, just as I do with webpages.

I'm running mutt in rxvt, if that matters.

I asked this in mutt-users.  One suggestion is to use imwheel; but,
reading the description, I do not see how this can help me.

What do you think?

Re: mouse-wheel

[F.o.x.T.r.o.T]

The kernel don't want to know if your mouse has a wheel, but just on
which port it is plugged (ps/2, uart, usb ... ?)
X system has to do with mouse wheel.

In your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, have the InputDevice section read as
below:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device"   "/dev/input/mice"
Option  "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Note: the "Device" setting here is for a USB mouse; set as necessary.

That may be a tricky one.  I am sure you tried Imps2

Did you try "MouseManPlusPS/2"

From /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, my mouse section looks like...I use a
Microsoft IntelliMouse PS/2.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "false"
Option  "Buttons"   "5"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "SendCoreEvents""true"
Option  "Device""/dev/input/mouse"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

I believe the second section is the one that applies for USB mice.
The important part is the ZAxisMapping line, which should have which
two buttons mapped as up and down (or down and up, I don't remember
which).  Usually this is 4 and 5.

XFree86 FAQ should have it.  It's located in /usr/doc/xserver-xfree86,
IIRC.

My /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 reads

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/gpmdata"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

since I run gpm. But /etc/gpm.conf says

device=/dev/input/mice
type=imps2

For a wired USB Logitech mouse.

$ ls -l /dev/input/mice 
crw-r--r--1 root root  13,  63 Mar 24  2002 /dev/input/mice
$

If you edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 directly be sure to read and
understand the comments about "BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" or you could
lose you changes unwittingly. Good luck!

Cheers!
Shyamal
