Re: [newbie] usb wheel mouse
Then what is the usb option in ntsysv that can be started at bootup? I thought it was for usb devices.

Apparently some USB functionality is in 2.2.14, which is the Air kernel, but officially, I don't think it is supposed to be supported until 2.4. Some reviewer was able to use his USB mouse during the INSTALL for Mandrake (and was REALLY impressed...). -- Wolfkin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

This is probably in place so that future kernels which are on the horizon and which WILL support USB much better will see it on boot. John

I have tried imwheel but it does not appear to work correctly with a usb mouse. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks I have the logitech mouseman+ usb and I just use the USB to ps2 adapter since the 2.2.x kernel doesn't support USB. 2.4.x will support it (whenever it comes out). I'm using Mandrake 6.1 and it works fine.. not all programs work with the mouse wheel, however. I saw a screen shot of 7.0 (air) and i saw an option for usb. Don't know if it works or not. Anyone try it? If that doesn't work just buy one of those ps2 adapters and it will work. -Conrad
