I'm certainly interested in finding this out myself.

Pretty much the same mouse here. Mine's not cordless, but it is optical. I saw the same results with the protocols as you. MouseManPlusPS/2, as suggested by the docs for XFree86 do *not* work. Certainly no scrolling ability. Also, as I seem to recall, the mouse was in fact unusable. It would jump from one side of the screen to the other... menus would occasionally appear... > btw I've read the README.mouse and debian-user but > haven't found answer (that would work, the settings in X > docs for mouseMan+ do not work with mouseMan wheel) As mentioned above, I have the same results. Should the XFree86 people be made aware of this ?? Chances are though, that it worked for *them* and that's why they printed it... Regards Hall
