Hey there,

Linux newbie here, just installed RH8.0, and having problems getting my scroll wheel mouse (Logitech) to work. All functions but the actual scroll wheel work.

Here's the catch - the mouse is hooked to the PC (PS/2) thru a Belkin-brand OmniView KVM switch (an older model, at that). To test, I installed RH8.0 at work w/a scroll mouse directly attached to the PS/2 port - and the generic "Wheel Mouse" driver was scrollin' like a champ.

Is anyone aware of an issue with getting the scroll wheel to work thru a KVM switch? If so, is there some kind of workaround? A Google search hits a thread mentioning something about passing the mouse through GPM to X... but I have absolutey no idea what that means.

Many thanks in advance!!

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxismapping""4 5"

/etc/X11/XF86Config

yeah i have a Belkin OmniView 4 port, and im having similar problems, except when i do the above and enable ZAxisMapping in the /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file of my RedHat 7.3, box.....and then switch around to my windoes2000 computer, and come back to RH, eveything is all strange, IE: when i move the mouse it clicks buttons, i have to switch ttys and comment out the ZAxisMapping, if i reboot X with the option, it works fine until i switch with the KVM, help.....
also its a Logitech MX500 mouse, ive been reading forms, and hearing about this xmodmap and imwheel? anyone tell me somthin about this? thanks a lot
