Greetings Debianers... I recently replaced my imps/2 with a ps/2 logitech 4-button wireless mouseman. I had always had some trouble with the imps/2 -- X couldn't recognize it at all, but GPM would, so i had to use the -R flag in GPM and set X up to use /dev/gpmdata and the mousesystems protocol (i'm sure most are familiar with this method). I never had to mess with mouse wheel support, because my mouse wheel had gotten so dirty by the time I installed debian that it was _completely_ impossible to move it, but clicking it worked fine and I was happy. The same problem persisted even after replacing my mobo.
Now I've got this nifty 4-button wireless mouseman and even stranger things are going on. I've tried setting it up in X with every protocol possible, and X will not recognize it. I've tried setting it up with GPM and for some reason the only protocol it will work with is imps/2; thus, I have ended up using exactly the same configuration as with my old mouse -- using GPM's repeater to do the job. This is quite weird -- in fact, a friend of mine running potato (i'm running woody by the way) got exactly the same thing (he ordered both of them himself) and has it working fine. So, I'm sort of wondering how in the world to get it working correctly -- Right now I'm using this handy 4-button mouse with a wheel as a normal 3-button mouse. If/when I can get it set up to use the correct protocol, etc., I still won't know how to set up the wheel to work correctly and the 4th button to do something useful. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :) -- Jared Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mother told me to be good but she's been wrong before. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/C d+(-)>-- s:+ a19 C++++$ UL++++>$ P+>++++ L+++ E--- W+ N+ o?
