I finially got the mouse wheel working. The one step I had missing from the directions I had around was editing /etc/X11/XF86Config and adding: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "3" I found a rather informative URL: http://www.linuxnetmag.com/en/issue5/m5mouse1.html that got me on the right track. In there they mention a program imwheel. Does anyone here have any experience with it? Is this a better solution then adding things to .Xdefaults? Thanks, EBo --
