Hi,

I have been fooling around with scrollong mice and SuSE 8.2 and the KDE control center handles them well. But my favorite 'pointing device' is a Logitech Marble Mouse (funny name for a track ball, I know) This is the symetrical 9ball in the middle) trackball w/ 2 buttons. They have a new modle that has an additional 2 small switches just for up and down scrolling.
I don't know how this works in Linux, X and KDE; it is not a wheel, so may be implimented in the Windows driver.
Has anyone of you gotten this unit to work on our beloved SuSE?
I use a Logitech Trackman Marble FX (the ergonomic model, not the symmetric one). It has four mouse buttons and I use the fourth one (the red one) to simulate the scroll wheel by keeping it pressed while moving up and down (and left and right, too!). Here's the relevant part from my /etc/X11/XF86Config:
[SNIP] Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Trackball" Option "Buttons" "4" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "XAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "YAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "4" Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "12" EndSection [SNIP]
Hope that helps!
