1 I guess I'm glad that I'm not alone Christoph. Like you, xev shows no activity
2 for the wheel.
3 As far as it's being a hardware related thing, unless 3 mice have died of the
4 same dreaded disease, it's not hardware. Of the 3 I've tried 2 are logitech
5 trackballs (USB) and the 3rd is a no-name intellimouse (PS/2). I'm at a loss
6 here. There is an app called mev that will run without X that, when I run
7 from vc/2 shows some action.

9 On left click press down:
10 mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00
11 (on release)
12 mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00
13
14 on right click (press and release):
15 mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00
16 mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00
17
18 Center button (Depress and release scroll wheel)
19 mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00
20 mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00
21
22 Scroll wheel up then down:
23 mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00
24 mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00
25
26 So, I guess this shows that the scroll wheel is sending a signal. I have no
27 idea if it's getting to the right place
