I just got myself a Logitech Trackball+ mouse. In addition to the three buttons and the trackball, it has a little wheel on the middle button that does various tricks under Win95. Does anyone know of a way to put that wheel to use under Linux? (It seems to work perfectly well without using the wheel.)

Alright.. you'll have to search through the archives for this one. there's
a couple of gadgets that let you use the wheel but I don't know off the top
of my head where or what they are.

Hello Paul: I have been using the Logitech Trackball with the 'wheel-thingie' for quite some time. The package you need is "imwheel", which can be downloaded, but I've forgotten the URL --- one of the Search Engines should be able to find it for you. The wheel doesn't work as well nor is it as versatile as under Windoze, but it does work satisfactorily for scrolling. Good Luck! Hal Schlicht :-) On 11-Mar-00 Paul W. Abrahams wrote:

Two handy URLs would be: http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ http://solaris1.mysolution.com/~jcatki/imwheel/ for scroll wheels in general, and imwheel in particualr, respectively.
