[gentoo-user] Mouse wheel doesn't work

[Stewart Taylor]

Hi all

Just about got Gentoo up and running as 
I want it. Taken a while with all the 
tweaking and re-tweaking but I've not 
had as much fun with a computer for 
years. I've got a couple of problems 
which, so far, have got me pulling my 
hair out as nothing I try fixes them. 
I've got a Microsoft Intellimouse (ps2) 
which seems to be detected correctly but 
the wheel will not work under KDE. Under 
KDE Control center > peripherals >mouse 
I get the option to adjust the scroll 
rate, but this has no effect. The wheel 
seems to be working as a left button, if 
I click the wheel over an icon or file 
that item is selected. I've tried all 
the fixes I've found on the web (not 
many, most seem to relate to cordless 
mice) without success. I'll post the 
other problem as a separate posting.

TIA

Stewart
