Dropping in on this thread, as I have never been able to
get imwheel to
work, either. I don't have a /home/user directory.
Should I create one?
Where is my autostart folder supposed to be located?
/home/'user' is the directory where you go when you type
cd
e.g. /home/don
Autostart is a folder on the Xwindows desktop.

Thanks! Don J.

You need to add these lines to your /etc/X11/XF86Config
file under the
pointer section:
Buttons 3
ZAxisMapping4 5
Then comment out (with the # symbol) the lines:
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout
Next, drop a copy of /etc/X11/imwheelrc into your
/home/user directory
and put a copy of /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel into your
autostart folder and
use the -k option.
i.e. 'imwheel -k'

I downloaded IWheel from the Mandrake ftps and installed it.
It is a rpm, so I figured that is all I had to do.
It does not work.
I can't scroll though web pages.
Thanks for the help.
