due to fuzzy thinking and fumble fingers, I no longer have the version that caused the problem, so I cannot guess what the change was that caused the problem. However the Mouse configuration entries were the same between the two!!Rats! I've never had a wheel working under linux, and I was following this thread sure the solution would be revealed...
I've just subscribed. Pardon me for not having time to look up previous
posts, but here is what I have in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on a Debian
stable:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
[...]
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
EndSection
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've never bothered to check if one of these entries is superfluous.
Works like a charme. Mouse is a <crossing myself> M$ IntelliMouse.
