Try as I might I cannot get my new wheel mouse to scroll. I set it up with sax2 to emulate 3 buttons and set the z-axis positive=4 and negative =5. There were radio buttons for z-axis in sax2: X, Y, Button, No. Setting to Button caused the right button menu to pop up with a wheel turn; Setting to Y causes the cursor to move by the increments set in positive/negative. I started imwheel in .xinit. What am I doing wrong?
Edit you Xf86Config file like this" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" My whole Section "imputDevice" looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "WHEEL MOUSE (PS/2)" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Vendor" "MICROSOFT" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection HTH, Curtis Rey On Saturday 19 May 2001 21:25, Albert Wagner wrote:

Yeah!! I lost my X server when using a lot Sax2 a few weeks ago when trying to configure the wheel. I just add this line and it works perfectly! Many thanks to you Curtis :)))) Ju (who is happy with his wheel working again :))

A point worth noting: if you're using SAX2 for configuration, you can set the ZAxisMapping from there, but the method is obscure. Under the mouse settings you have to go to Expert and then scroll down most of the way through the resulting screen to find a setting for a Wheelmouse. if you don't notice that the screen needs to be scrolled down, you'll never know about it.

There are also 4 radio buttons is this section, and it is just as obscure that Buttons must be selected.

Hi Albert: I use the method outlined here; and it works. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/whellxf40.html On Saturday 19 May 2001 21:25, you wrote:

So far everything I have seen about the wheel mice are for ps2's. I have a USB mouse with a wheel(Logitech cordless) but nothing regarding USB wheel mice is mentioned at least nothing that I have found. Does anyone have any information on making the wheel for a USB mouse work? Diane _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I do use an USB intellimouse too but can set it up as a PS/2. This can be done if your BIOS support USB mice. The you can tell the bios to control itself the mouse. Linux will then recognize the mouse as an IMPS/2 mouse an you'll just have to add the ZAxisMapping line to /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Anyway you need a bios which support this. C you! Ju.

Hi Everyone, I am using Star Office 5.2 to try to create a calendar. What I want it a full year on one page. If I use the template to create one it makes it exactly how i want, however it takes 3 pages to print it and I would like it to be on one page. I have tried using portrait and landscape in the print setup to no avail. I have been able to make it fit on one page but it becomes too small then. I want it to fill the page :) Does anyone here use Star Office enough to know of a way to make it how I want? Cheers, Glenn
Thanks, everyone. The wheel is scrolling, but a panel full at a time. Is there a way to make it scroll just one line per wheel click?

There's documentation in /usr/doc/packages/imwheel, I believe, and a file .imwheelrc in your home directory that contains configuration information for the wheel. The default is to scroll a panel at a time, but you can change it there. To be honest, I've been meaning to do that myself for a while but haven't gotten around to doing the necessary work of reading the doc and modifying the file. But it shouldn't be hard. Maybe someone else will post the magic incantation. Paul

If you're using KDE/qt aps they seem to have wheel scrolling built in so you can just not start imwheel and it'll work lovely. Jonathan Riddell

Nope not all will work lovely. Alot of non-kde apps will not work without imwheel. Such as acroread within netscape as a plugin. That's just an example. There are a few that will not work without imwheel. Imwheel is better than the KDE/qt implementation anyway. I wish I could figure out how to circumvent the KDE/qt implementation because with imwheel you can configure it for a SMOOTH scroll. It looks just like when you use the scroll bar. Check out the difference. The scroll bar is SMOOTH. The wheel is JUMP scroll. With a properly configured imwheel your wheel will scroll just like if you were using the scroll bar. Only problem I haven't figured how to make KDE/qt scroll that way or force how to force them to use imwheel. Better keep your imwheel running... Regards Mark
