Re: [newbie] loading imwheel at x startup?
I have no idea if my findings will help find a fix, but since I wanted wheel support for my intellimouse V1.1a - I have issued the command from the console from time to time, but never seen the scroll wheel work - however I often get a response that it is already running (wasn't my doing!) and might behave oddly - I use KDE and gnome - but mostly gnome. At install I have always said no to ANY emulations on any of the hardware - I wanted to see what Linux was like at base level before complicating things by getting clever! Since it does not seem to be working, then whatever you do may not get the result we would all wish for. It may be that be are seeing the birth of a bug? Perhaps it needs an update? As a side issue - I have felt it must be possible to have the click on the wheel serve as middle mouse button, anyone know if this has been done, and if so, how?

Well, the way it works here, it's the "paste" button, but in your /etc directory (I think) there's a file called imwheelrc where you can specify what each button/wheel does... AFAICT, it's *supposed* to scroll in Netscape, but it doesn't do that here... the ONLY thing it's good for, AFAICT, is for pasting after cutting. :-) John
