Well, i reinstalled gpm and install imwheel,
because someone mentioned gpm might require
imwheel??? My mouse still works, but not the
wheel.

A snip of my XF86Config-4 file:

Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver      "mouse"
Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
Option "Device"      "/dev/gpmdata"

My gpm.conf file:

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=PS/2
append=""
sample_rate=


I thought that perhaps gpm wasn't running, but
it is:

$ ps aux | grep gpm
root       207  0.0  0.0  1580  580 ?        S    20:52   0:00
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t PS/2 -Rraw


Any suggestions as to why my wheel doesn't
scroll? Am i missing something???
