I am yet another user having difficulty getting the wheel of a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (the big mouse with the optical eye) to scroll in Linux. I am running Corel Linux Desktop version 1.2 with a 2.2.16 kernel, and with Corel's modifications to KDE. Corel Linux is a flavour of Debian, so a few packages are from the latest stable release of Debian (potato).
Xfree is version 3.3.6. gpm is version 1.17.8-18. Imwheel was behaving strangely and I uninstalled it. Following advice from Colas Nahaboo's X mouse wheel scroll page (http://www- sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/) and other sources, I set up the pointer section of XF86Config like this: Section "Pointer" Protocol "imps/2" Device "/dev/psaux" Resolution 100 Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection The following appear to be consensus settings for /etc/gpm.conf: device=y responsiveness= repeat_type=ms3 type=imps2 # append="" I will be trying Colas Nahaboo's modifications to Netscape to see if the wheel scrolls there. I gather that users of Debian have had particular difficulty getting a wheel mouse to scroll. Has anyone solved this? I will be attempting to post this message to: debian-user@lists.debian.org thecorelsupport.linux.corellinux newsgroup X Mouse Wheel WWW Board: http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/
