Hope mine will have the wheel working someday :)

Should the mouse's wheel work on console ?
Because I can move the cursor (as I could before) but the wheel is not working...

I checked the man!

Wheel still not working under X.

I received no manual with it. It's real some kind of noname hardware!

Thanx again and hope someone will be able to help :)
