I have a Logitech PS/2 wheelmouse, I can't seem to use the wheel in X.
I run Slackware 7.1, kernel 2.2.16 and xfree86 3.3.6.
The wheelbutton is supposed to be supported as buttons 4 and 5. In xmms they can be used to control the volume and in a Gnome terminal you can use it to scroll.

Howdy. Try using "imwheel". In the highly unlikely event that there is no Slackware tarball of it, then grab it from www.freshmeat.net. Pay particular attention to the part in the documentation where it refers to the XF86Config file. It recommends:

Hi, it's me, the jackoff who for the last three weeks told everybody to 'choose intellimouse' in the Mandrake 7.2 installation, because that's what worked on the 'test your mouse' part, instead of the distracting 'Logitech' choices given. Well of course it doesn't actually work once one gets into daily use. So, what does an 'Logitech TrackMan Marble+' user actually do to get the scroll wheel actually working? Say even for netscape & emacs & emacs -nw...? Sure, you're gonna mention the usual links, but let's not be like me and not actually have day to day proof of a working solution before posting... -- www.geocities.com/jidanni E-mail: restore ".com." ???

thanks for the help. but sending the bug report to mandrake does not fix my problem I am having now. What should I do to resove this problem??? What is caml anyway?
OK, muchos gracias to you Mr. Mark Flacy, you got my 'TrackMan Marble+' rolling [though it just will never be as smooth as in win98: do a quick jerk backwards during a forwards roll, tisk.] Say, where's the win98 Logitech feature of 'smart mouse' or whatever, where it automatically puts the pointer over the 'yes' or default button of choices? -- www.geocities.com/jidanni E-mail: restore ".com." ???

In Netscape 4.75 I discovered that when the above solution stops working, go to the panel of icons and iconify netscape. Then click again on the same icon to bring it back. The wheel then works again...
