Through the KVM emulation, it IDs the mouse as a MouseMan+, which works fine with the wheel under various RH and Linux variants on another system...I may wind up having to recompile the Linux kernel and/or modularize the mouse/PS2 driver and add some debugging to try to see if I can't figure this out....but of course most problems encountered have already been encountered by someone else, so was definitely hoping ;-) Thanks, Scott PS- Jorn, your mailserver is misconfigured, if intentionally then no worries, but your mailer isn't filling out the From/Reply-to headers at all...
