I'm sure it defaults to a simple config that would work across most installations but, as you've noticed things like the wheel are not part of the vanilla config. > 3) Could the vmware-tools sample be sufficient to build one (xorg.conf)? Probably not as it would not be part of the normal path. > 4) Would it be used, if I'm not using one now? Nope. See the gentoo wiki for how to build an initial xorg.conf file and extend it for your wheel mouse support. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
