I purchased a cheap GE/Jasco optical scroll mouse last night. It works fine except for the scroll wheel; I can only scroll down. After a search on Google Groups I discovered the xev program. It reports that either way I move the wheel is an event for button 5. I've changed the protocol under X to different ones, I started with ImPS/2. Sometimes xev only sees three buttons but if it sees the wheel both directions are button 5. Is there anything I can can do? Should I just return the mouse? If so, do I replace it or spend a little extra money to get a Logitech or even Microsoft? I've heard that Microsoft at least makes good hardware. I'm in Dayton now. Tomorrow I'm going to my first DLUG meeting. Ryan -- If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed ... oh, wait a minute -- he already does. -- This is the [email protected] list.
