Re: MS Intellimouse Trackball not working with XFree86-3.3.3-1

There's a program called 'imwheel' which enables the MS Intellimouse PS/2 wheel to function. The package also includes a patched version of 'gpm' which fixes the other button problems with this mouse.

The 'imwheel' RPM package (imwheel-0.9.5.tar.gz) is available at: http://solaris1.mysolution.com/~jcatki/imwheel

After installing, manually edit /etc/sysconfig/mouse and change the mouse designator to 'imps2' (this becomes the argument for gpm).

(The above instructions are for RH5.2; I assume other Linux versions will be similar).

Regards,
Charles Sullivan

I have an intellimouse and I love it. It was pain though trying to setup in X. Here is what I did :

protocol should be "imps/2" to get the mouse wheel to work (though it doesn't work like it does in Windows) just add "ZAxisMapping 4 5" after the other mouse items.

Hope this helps ...

Gpm and X both support this mouse. You have to have ps/2(psaux) support compiled into the kernel or as a module.

For gpm use the imps2(see 'gpm -t help') type and for X use the IMPS/2 type(see /usr/doc/X11/README.mouse and the Debian imwheel package).
