Re: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
I have some cheap wheel mouse: Genius Netscroll. It works perfectly. First I selected MS IW in the config (though the last tiime I was looking around, standard mouse was highlighted), and I put: exec /usr/bin/imwheel -k in my /etc/rc.local file. Running 7.2 with the 2.2.17 kernel and KDE 2.0.0. It even works in Netscape (but I had to do something extra to get that to work.) -s On Tuesday 19 December 2000 09:34 am, you wrote: "Jose M.

Re: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
It's quite strange. Although, I select Intellimouse for my mouse, it keeps going back to standard. This has been going on for several releases. It performs like the Intellimouse. However, the graphical shows standard. I guess it must be a default setting? Roman Registered Linux user: #197855 s wrote: I have some cheap wheel mouse: Genius Netscroll. It works perfectly.

Re: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
I recently purchased one of the Logitech optical mice, ended up returning it. It went crazy on my machine (using the USB-PS2 adapter). I had the same behavior in MDK win9x. On other PCs it worked flawlessly. My regular PS2 Intellimouse w/ ball works great. The best I could figure is my motherboard (Asus p2b) didn't like it for some reason. -- Joseph Red [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.cautioninc.com Traci Collins wrote: "Jose M.

RE: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
I had a optical mouse go crazy on me too. It flies to the upper right hand corner. I find that if I disable the scrool wheel the behavior stops. But then again, what good is it without use of the wheel.

RE: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
I've noticed the the Xsession startup does not seem to invoke imwheel properly. I ended up adding imwheel -k to Xsetup_0 and got the mouse wheel working this way. Harddrake and Drakconf still thinks it's a Standard Mouse no matter what I do however... This seems to be more of a script issue than anything else. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Romanator Sent: Monday, December 18, 2000 6:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] 7.2 stability , mouse issues .
