the problem is that not many people understand the hidden ways of
keyboard and mouse events from the hardware through the kernel to the
console or even X. Writing a valid and properly designed xorg.conf is
sort of alchemy (not only concerning mouse issues).
But anyway, we have to deal with it. I do not depend on the mouse wheel
so I decided to ignore this issue, I already spend enough time on my
computer ;-) .
But anyway it's a pity that it did work with X and it doesn't work with
x.org.
xev doesn't show any event, but when I do a cat /dev/input/mice and move
the wheel, at least the cursor in the shell moves. This doesn't mean
that there are *valid* events coming in, but at least there *are*
events coming in. The same happens for /dev/input/mouse0, while mouse1
and mouse2 belong to my trackstick and the touchpad. /dev/input/mice
only seems to collect the events of all mice.
Assumed the incoming events are valid, then it's likely that we only
need to figure out which protocol needs to be set in the xorg.conf. I
already tried some by trial and error, but maybe a systematic search
will help.
