SuSE Linux: Version 6.2, 6.3
XFree86: Version 3.3.2
Intelli Mouse with Wheel
Versions 6.2
The Imwheel package is not part SuSE of version 6.2 or below. You will therefore have to down load it from the following site: http://freshmeat.net. Do a search for "imwheel" and grab the latest version in rpm format.
Note: This package has been tested with SuSE version 6.2 . It may work with earlier versions, but there is no guarantee. ;)
Now you may go to YaST and install this package.
Now that that the Imwheel package has been installed, its time to configure it!
Since it would be repetative to describe what has already been detailed in the package documentation, we will not describe configuration here.
Please review carefully the /usr/doc/imwheel-0.*.*/README file. You can either print it or view it using the "less" command.
Version 6.3 or higher
The Imwheel package is part of SuSE version 6.3 or higher. If you have installed the standard packages, then this package has already been installed.
You can check to see if it has been instaled by typing the commnad:
bash# rpm -q imwheel
If it is not installed then follow the instructions below.
Now that that the Imwheel package has been installed, its time to configure it!
All that you need to do is edit your /etc/XF86Config file. Using an editor of your choice, I recommend pico, edit the /etc/XF86Config file and add the folloing line to the "Pointer" section.
ZAxisMapping 4 5
ex: Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/psaux" SampleRate 60 BaudRate 1200 ZAxisMapping 4 5 Buttons 3 EndSection
Now start or restart xwindows and run the command "imwheel". If this works correctly then you may whish to add a line to your ~/.xinitrc file in the "start some stuff" section.
ex: # # start some stuff # imwheel &
Please review carefully the /usr/doc/packages/imwheel/README file. You can either print it or view it using the "less" command.
