I use the trackman marble (without the wheel) and have been for some time, configure it as a MS compatible mouse and you won't have any problems. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v6.3+ - Kernel 2.2.14

I use it with 6.2 as a normal 3 button mouse. The scrolling function or special menu's are not supported in X.

You still have the benefits of it's ergonomical design though.

I've got it working. Thanks to all. I set it up with 4 buttons hoping that imwheel can be mapped to use the fourth button to lock the ball for scrolling. I look at imwheelrc and it all looks Greek to me, so if any has suggestions...? -- Tim RRMC -- 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/

Though I had to create a custom imwheelrc file in my home directory as I didn't like the page scrolling as much as I liked the line scrolling which makes it seem more like what I'm used to on my work system, NT.

The device in question does not have a wheel. The way it works in windows, the fourth button toggles the ball to act as the scrolling device in place of the wheel.

Exactly. If anyone ever figures out, how to get this functionality, give me a ring. I miss it badly :) Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer 90443 Nuernberg, Germany -- 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/
