Am using one right now on the PS/2 port of an Asus A7V under XFree86
4.0.3. Used exactly the same stuff as for my ball mouse, Logitec M/N
M-S35. My optical wheel mouse is M/N M-BD58.
Moused is running like this: "moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto"
/etc/X11/XF86Config has this entry:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
with the ZAxisMapping the wheel scrolls xterms. One day I'll figure out
how to do the same in Netscape Communicator. It currently does
something in Communicator's newsreader for moving around in a newsgroup
but what it does isn't useful. Else I haven't figured out the pattern
of it jumping messages.
Same mouse works very well on my USB Macintosh systems with no software
added. Something else I need to look into as I'd like the wheel to do
something there too.
