Last night I wrote to the author of imwheel about setting up the trackman to scroll and also how to get a wheel to scroll one line at a time instead of a page. He mailed me twice this morning, both are pasted below. Just got home from work so hope to try this right away. It's amazing how much you miss that little wheel once you get used to it. -- Tim RRMC ================================================== Subject: Re: imwheel Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2000 22:19:05 -0500 From: jcatki@home.com Organization: -=< Long Island Man >=- http://jcatki.dhs.org/ To: Tim Shann <tajc@prodigy.net> References: 1 imwheel 0.9.8pre4 may have the driver you need, though you need to use the marbleFX for ps/2 mice and trackmanFX for serial (I think, I don't have one so I cannot test what is what!). Please go to my imwheel files section at: http://jcatki.dhs.org/imwheel/files there you can get the 0.9.8pre4 version of imwheel. to configure the mouse for line by line stuff, there is a Netscape section in the imwheelrc that looks like this: "^Netscape" #Shift_L, Down, Page_Down, 1, 1000, 1000 #Shift_L, Up, Page_Up, 1, 1000, 1000 Shift_L, Down, Shift_L|Down, 7, 1000, 1000 Shift_L, Up, Shift_L|Up, 7, 1000, 1000 #None, Down, Down, 7, 1000, 1000 #None, Up, Up, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Down, Page_Down, 1, 1000, 1000 None, Up, Page_Up, 1, 1000, 1000 None, Left, Left, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Right, Right, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Thumb, Down, 7, 1000, 1000 Shift_L, Thumb, Up, 7, 1000, 1000 change it to look like this: "^Netscape" Shift_L, Down, Page_Down, 1, 1000, 1000 Shift_L, Up, Page_Up, 1, 1000, 1000 #Shift_L, Down, Shift_L|Down, 7, 1000, 1000 #Shift_L, Up, Shift_L|Up, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Down, Down, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Up, Up, 7, 1000, 1000 #None, Down, Page_Down, 1, 1000, 1000 #None, Up, Page_Up, 1, 1000, 1000 None, Left, Left, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Right, Right, 7, 1000, 1000 None, Thumb, Down, 7, 1000, 1000 Shift_L, Thumb, Up, 7, 1000, 1000 it's so simple...yet noone ever tries just switching the commentted lines...argh. well that should do it.

If you use gpm then you must use Method#2 in the manpage or README, otherwise the Xserver controls the mouse wheel and you must use Method#1. -=<Long Island Man>=- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
