Re: Logitech Mouseman+/Logitech Mouseman Wheel

Hi Andrew,

Quoth Andrew Clark,

I have a logitech MouseMan+ (with a wheel, 5 buttons, bloody huge, but
very comfortable), working comfortably with X4 (testing). It's working
through the gpm repeater, so here all all the relevant bits:

This allows me to use the mouse wheel (imwheel is not required, most X
programs support it natively), and the thumbwheel for pasting.

Cheers,

damon
