Thanks in advance! Am using one right now on the PS/2 port of an Asus A7V under XFree86 4.0.3. Used exactly the same stuff as for my ball mouse, Logitec M/N M-S35. My optical wheel mouse is M/N M-BD58. Moused is running like this: "moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto" /etc/X11/XF86Config has this entry: Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection with the ZAxisMapping the wheel scrolls xterms. One day I'll figure out how to do the same in Netscape Communicator. It currently does something in Communicator's newsreader for moving around in a newsgroup but what it does isn't useful. Else I haven't figured out the pattern of it jumping messages. Same mouse works very well on my USB Macintosh systems with no software added. Something else I need to look into as I'd like the wheel to do something there too. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
