Egbert,
First of all, please have a look at these commits: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=... http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=...
ImEXPS/2 is the same protocol which x.org calls EXPS/2.
After switching the mouse to the EXPS/2 protocol, the 2-wheel mode can be enabled by sending the bytes 200, 80, 40. In this mode, special packets are sent by the mouse when the user scrolls the second wheel. (This is a backwards-compatible protocol.)
OK. I will try to implement this.
Unfortunately A4Tech mice do not support this protocol. What they do is that they support EXPS/2 mode and send +/-1 scroll up/down for scroll up/down and send +/-2 scroll up/down for scroll left/right. This cannot be autodetected to my knowledge.
Right, i understand this. This was what was implemented in X using a horrific kludge which used to mess up the handling for all other mice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
