Hi, Has anyone gotten a wheel mouse to do what it does under RedHat--namely scroll an X window? Thanks, John
Has anyone gotten a wheel mouse to do what it does under RedHat--namely scroll an X window?
Never come across one that hasn't...

I guess everyone but you. What kind of mouse do you have and can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Thanks, pben On Thursday 10 July 2003 03:31 pm, John Lowry wrote:

Only if you run Sax2 again. I'm running a hand edited XF86Config file, as I've found it's the only way to get my Wacom tablet, PS2 mouse and ancient Logitech serial cordless working correctly together. I used Sax2 to get the basics right, then hacked away until everything was working correctly. Keep a copy of the file, so your changes are preserved. I've noticed Sax2 names it's mice like this - mouse[1] mouse[3] mouse[5] etc. It's only a name and you can edit it if you don't like it, but you need to ensure references further down the file are changed, too.

Gee , would you mind posting the relevant entries for your wacom ?? I tried installing it w/ Sax2 but might as well not have... although Suse Watcher , bless it's pointy little head , found it ONCE on bootup , and suggested I open sax2 ... but filling the stuff out doesn't get it recognized. It *IS* a serial tablet .. which is why I was looking for a usb one a while ago.. Tho I'm not certain it's any better... I'd appreciate anything you might want to share . Maybe off list ?

Here's the XF86Config entries that relate to my USB Wacom Graphire. I don't use the Graphire mouse, only the stylus. I think the PS/2 mouse works better: My PS/2 mouse is Mouse[1], and is the core pointer.

Looks like the new driver will be configurable without hacking XF86Config. Regards, Jason
In comparing my config file to the others I dont see how to use both wheeles one of which is dual function as the middle button. I beleive the correct function according to the winblows drivers is one the clickable wheele is also supposed to cause vertical scrolling and the other horizontal scrolling. i have not figured out how to make this work in KDE. Currently the other wheel mearly reverses the direction of the verticle scrooling performed by the clickwheel.

Many thanks to all who helped. Nick's config worked. Sax2 didn't, but I expect I could tweak it now and make it work. Something for another day. Now the only thing I like about my RedHat System better than Suse is their cool screensavers. --John On Thu, 10 Jul 2003, nick murphy wrote:

No it will not not get trashed but you should use Yast anyway. Goto YaST2 -> Hardware -> Graphics Card and Monitor (sic) -> Click on Change under Graphical desktop environment -> That will bring up SaX2 click on Input-Devices -> Mouse -> Change Configuration -> Click on the first mouse -> Expert tab -> check the Enable Mouse Wheel box. Then click on OK, then Finish, then Finalize. That should let you test the config and if it is good you can restart the Xserver. If you want to use the side buttons on your Microsoft mouse you will have to read the release notes on XFree86 4.3.0 at: http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse6.html#28 http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse7.html and edit the config by hand. NOTE: The side buttons will not work if you are using a second pointer that doesn't have 7 buttons, sorry I have been there it is broken. :-( Good luck, pben On Thursday 10 July 2003 04:12 pm, John Lowry wrote:
Excellent question--the file was generated by Sax2. If I edit it manually, it'll get trashed, no?

You need to add the following lines to the mouse section of your XF86Config file:
Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Side note - Why do you have 2 mouse entries in your config file? And why are they Mouse[1] and Mouse[3]? Seems odd to me.

Hello, I'd like to be able to start a server program from a Konsole Shell with more than the default 1024 max. nr of open files. I'm using Suse 8.1. When I add the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf: * hard nofile 4096 * soft nofile 4096 the ulimit -n changes to 4096 in a console login shell. (via ctr-alt-F2) so I'm almost there. However, when I login under KDE, and use a Konsole Shell there, the ulimit -n is still 1024. A similar thing happes when a login via ssh: the ulimit -n is back at 1024.From the ulimit -n 4096 login console, I ssh to my provider first, and then ssh back to my own machine where the remote-remote (ie. local) shell has ulimit -n 1024 again. I noticed that /etc/pam.d/login has an entry like: session required pam_limits.so and /etc/pam.d/xdm and /etc/pam.d/ssh both do not have an entry with pam_limits.so. Now I'd like to change the ulimit -n of a Konsole Shell to 4096. Should I: - add a pam_limits.so entry in /etc/pam.d/xdm, just as in /etc/spam.d/login?, or - try and find another configuration for KDE that changes the ulimit -n? For remote shells, should I change /etc/pam.d/ssh accordingly? Kind regards, Ype Kingma

Something is messed up here, you have two mice registered, one with a wheel, one without, and you're setting both as the main pointer (both CorePointer and SendCoreEvents tells X "use this as the main mouse") I would think you need to delete one of them.
