Read the doc (/usr/doc/imwheel*) on the .imwheelrc file. This file controls the actions taken for the mouse buttons and wheel in different windows. The default for any window not defined in the file is Page Up and Page Down for the wheel actions making it very jerky. A change to Up 3 and Down

In case you missed my earlier e-mail. Don't put in "Buttons 3" like the doc says. That made my wheel up work like a left click and wheel down like a middle or right click I can't remember which. I commented out the "Buttons 3" and my wheel mouse works like a champ. - Ralph - Original

Thanks for the tip, it look like when I get it working I can tune it a little better, but unfortunately I get the same errors using hdparm. Using hdparm I have tried all UDMA modes and still get the CRC error. With any mdma mode I get "timed out waiting for DMA". PIO is all that works. Any

I have two of these cards in one box both working fine using the tulip driver - originally under LM 7.0 and now LM 7.1. This sounds like a card configuration problem. Check your BIOS settings and make sure PNPOS is set to No. This will make the BIOS configure the cards IRQ and I/O address.

pppd does allow this. I don't use kppp so I'm not sure how to specify it using kppp. But if there is a place to specify additional options for pppd try adding "usepeerdns". This will make pppd add the DNS entries received from your ISP to your /etc/resolv.conf if no nameserver entries exist,

Dave - The problem is that imwheel writes a file /tmp/imwheel.pid where it keeps track of the pid of imwheel so the "imwheel -k" command can be used to kill a currently running imwheel and start a new one. imwheel has a nasty habit of leaving its pid file around and it sets the user and group
