I have a Logitech wheelmouse and have in my XF86Config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "Logitech" Device "/dev/mouse" ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection The important part is the ZAxisMapping. It tells X to use the wheel as a 4th and 5th mouse button, allowing programs to react on the "button down" and "button up" events of the scroll-wheel. Be aware that it is program-specific whether or not the wheel works. with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder -- ___ _ -O_\ Rogier Steehouder // | / mailto:r.j.steehouder@student.utwente.nl //\ / \ http://home.student.utwente.nl/r.j.steehouder/ // \ <----------------------- 25m ----------------------> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
