It works as the third button, but not as a wheel, even in the mouse setup. Wonder if the issue has been resolved in 10.2? Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

(I lead a boring life) psmouse.proto=bare disables the wheel but: looked into it and using the above parameter disables the wheel, but psmouse.proto=imps does not.

Re: [newbie] PS2 wheelmouse
Thanks all for the input. I'll try Russ's fix first with my fingers crossed. Charles, I had to smile about yours. I feel lucky I had an old mouse kickin' around.

Mines on an extension cable so that I can keep it within easy reach Charles At a guess, I would say the mouse supports more then one format of reporting events. The Linux box is using a mode that is different then the other boxes. When you change to the other box, the mode gets changed, but it doesn't get reset when changing back to the Linux box. Now, if you could figure out the mode the other boxes are using, and force the Linux box to use the same mode, you would be all set...

[newbie] PS2 wheelmouse
Is anyone else having trouble with the logitech optical mouse in 10.1? I have used it, and am using it now on 4 boxes through a Belkin kvm switch. Win 2k, mdk through 9.2 worked fine, and the other three boxes continue to work properly. The 10.1 mdk uses a different driver and the mouse goes nuts if I switch to another box, then back. Reboot is the only fix I've found, although I'm sure there is a more linux solution. Right now I have an old MS mouse hooked to the one box. Very untidy solution and it burns holes in my desk, but that's another story. Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
