Basically (and very roughly, because I'm not sure I understand X and mouse events all that well) you have to remap certain input events to certain results. imwheel does this mapping for you, but I believe you could do it without it. > I recall having some minor wheel functionality (its been a while, but I > think Mozilla would scroll the window only if the mouse was positioned > over the scroll bar when you turned the wheel.

You would have to enable buttons 4 and 5 in XF86Config, and then map them to something in one the xsession scripts. If you're stuck, let me know and I'll try to refresh my memory of where things go. If you want to use imwheel, it has pretty good documentation, at least in the Debian package - I believe the maintainer wrote a fair amount of it himself. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | prairies, n.: Vast plains covered by | | steve@lobefin.net | treeless forests. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
