[-- Attachment #1 --] A while ago /usr/sbin/moused has seen some refurbishment. Since then in X11 the mousewheel is inverted. I'm on CURRENT and 15-STABLE. Mouse is right hand. Moving the wheel "away" was supposed to scroll DOWN towards the last entry (i.e. within an xterm), moving (or rotating, if you like) the wheel towards me was supposed to scroll UPWARD towards historical entries. Up to the time of this inversion there was no difference between Microsofts handling of the mousewheel. Now, switching between M$ Windows and my lab's FBSD installation is a pain, my limited brains capacity doens't compute the inversion of the axis very fast. Since I do not use fancy things on how to configure the mouse in Windows I suppose its the standard how I use the mouse (I use Windows for department's Email, just that), in FreeBSD's X11 I used for years now either no extra config or Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7". First guess was to shuffle "4 5 6 7", but whatever the order of the numbers is, it has no effect. What triggers this inversion and how to restore the "legacy" or, more suitable, the traditional way? Thanks in advance, Oliver -- A FreeBSD user [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRQheDybVktG5eW/1Kxzvs8OqokrwUCaPUg9gAKCRCxzvs8Oqok r7r7AQDFkGWZymnyKDgN/7lamNRz0BeV3zWTiK/ZLGmRCF4I9gEAwNrZ7wRqIKSu HpV8MVXq1xGbwhgBuHxfNTj4E8wO3wU= =qxhl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
