Hi Jorn- yeah, I've played with the X Device section, as well as the
flags to moused extensively, as well as not running moused, changing the
button and then z-axis mappings, just in case this particular mouse
wasn't actually seeing the scroll wheel as 'button 4'...all to no avail.
Through the KVM emulation, it IDs the mouse as a MouseMan+, which works
fine with the wheel under various RH and Linux variants on another
system...I may wind up having to recompile the Linux kernel and/or
modularize the mouse/PS2 driver and add some debugging to try to see if
I can't figure this out....but of course most problems encountered have
already been encountered by someone else, so was definitely hoping ;-)
Thanks,
Scott
PS- Jorn, your mailserver is misconfigured, if intentionally then no
worries, but your mailer isn't filling out the From/Reply-to headers at
all...
