I think that if you follow the other suggestions for ImPS2 and button mapping for 4 5 that you will get your mouse to work. You said optical and only HP/Agilent makes the internals for those so I expect them all to be the same regardless of who OEM'd it and put their label on it. At that time you might find that imwheel is getting in your way. Which is exactly the route I took myself when doing the same thing you are now doing. The imwheel package is to interpret mouse events and map them into something else. For example, older netscape does not know about button 4 and 5 and therefore does not handle wheel mouse. The imwheel program will translate button 4/5 (wheel) into page-up/page-down keys which the program does know about. But it only caused be trouble since Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror, xterm, etc. all understand the mouse. There is a imwheel configuration file which you should be able to configure to pass through to some programs but not others but I would never get it set right. Therefore I removed imwheel and can't recommend it unless you have a special need for it such as an obsolete program with no understandings of button 4/5 (wheel) events. Bob
