Re: Re: imwheel Not working
OK. Sorry if I misunderstood the message. Now I'm interested. All the searches I've done say to use imwheel to get the wheel working and Mandrake uses imwheel. I assumed that that was the only option. How can I get wheel mouse to work without imwheel? Can anyone share some code please.

Can anyone share some code please. Codeword: 'IM' :) All I had to do was change 'PS/2' to 'IMPS/2' in XF86Config-4, and restart X. There may be some individual apps that don't work, but I haven't found them, and the ones I want work fine (Mozilla, etc). -- Hal Burgiss ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Re: imwheel Not working
How can I get wheel mouse to work without imwheel? Can anyone share some code please. I posted my solution the other day. Make sure your gpm is running with options like '-t ps/2 -m /dev/mouse' and make sure your XF86Config has the mouse protocol as IMPS/2 and you have 'ZAxisMapping 4 5' just below the protocol line. When I first got my optical wheel mouse, I tried to use imwheel but found that the mouse didn't function as well as how I ended up configuring things. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Re: Re: imwheel Not working
Thanks for that. I deleted all the imwheel files and made all the changes you suggested: in the /etc/sysconfig/gpm file I appended the options specified into the options section. My XF86Config file was already setup correctly. I restated X and the wheel mouse is working correctly in everything that I use regularly. Thanks all for the help. Question, if it works just like that, why does Mandrake still use imwheel? George Statux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How can I get wheel mouse to work without imwheel? Can anyone share some code please.

Re: imwheel Not working
I am having trouble getting imwheel to work. I have installed imwheel and modified the X config files accordingly, and it still does not work. Don't use imwheel. My mouse-related stuff looks like this: Section InputDevice Identifier OpticalMouse Driver mouse Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option Device/dev/mouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Note the IMPS/2 protocol. This is VERY important. So try working the section above into your config and make sure gpm is running in this manner: gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/mouse You may need to modify the appropriate startup scripts. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Re: imwheel Not working
Thanks for that. When I updated the entries to IMPS/2 instead of PS/2 it worked as expected. Thanks, George Statux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having trouble getting imwheel to work.
