Re: Scrolling the mouse wheel of Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (again) in Corel Linux 1.2
if your using gpm to interact with X you need to set XF86config
to use /dev/gpmdata instead of /dev/psaux
although the only wheel prog ive ever used is imwheel(with
logitech trackman marble wheel trackballs) - which used
/dev/psaux instead
