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.

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/

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.
Hey Tim this works great. Thanks for sharing the info with us. I've been wondering about this myself. Thanks again.
