Hi Seak, I get your point. Maybe that in Windows the Touchpad scroll is implemented somehow otherwise than to emmit 4 and 5 button event and applications have a handler for that. The wheel of the USB mouse that I have on my desk works, only the Touchpad scroll does not. Also on another laptop that I have Linux, the Touchpad scroll works as 4/5 buttons, but this is just the driver and it has nothing to do with VNC.
So the problem I think would be how to tell the VncViewer to pick up these events of Windows Touchpad Scrolling and send them as 4/5 buttons?

Actually, when I'm using the touchpad in my notebook, wheel action isn't recognized in Add/Remove Programs. And when I'm using some virtual machines, wheel action isn't propagated there either. But ... I don't know which Linux distro you're using, but have you tried some other mouses like a simple PS/2 (if that's not the case, of course)?
