Bug#320136: thirded

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg-debian.org@fifthhorseman.net>]

i'm thirding this request.  EnableWheelTimeout would be very useful
for me.  

Alternatively, i'd be satisfied if debian would use the
EmulateWheelClickToo [0] patch, which has arguably better semantics
for those of us with TrackPoint devices (but may work worse for people
with regular mice).

it's unclear to me why neither patch has made it into the debian X.org
sources, since at least EnableWheelTimeout has been committed to the
main line for 11 months [1].

[dkg@squeak xorg]$ grep -ir EmulateWheelTimeout xorg-x11-6.8.2.dfsg.1/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/mouse
[dkg@squeak xorg]$ grep -ir EmulateWheelClickToo xorg-x11-6.8.2.dfsg.1/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/mouse
[dkg@squeak xorg]$ zgrep -i enablewheel /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/*
[dkg@squeak xorg]$ 

If both patchsets are Considered Harmful for some reason, at least
some documentation of the decision should appear in the documentation.

Thanks for maintaining the debian xorg packages!  it's very exciting
to have this work in etch.

Regards,
