Intellimouse

Request:

Installation of a mouse with a small wheel (Logitech Mouseman Plus, Intellimouse)

Procedure:

This mouse is available as a serial and as a PS/2 mouse. The serial mouse is supported by gpm (console) since version 1.13 (Type ms3; it might be that the option -R is needed). There is also support by XFree86 3.3.1 (under X, type Intellimouse).

It seems as if until now (1998-03-02) the wheel cannot be used as a wheel. It can however be used like the middle mouse-button. Better then nothing ;-)

The PS/2-version of the mouse is known to gpm as imps2. There are patches and macros for the wheel available for XFree86 3.3.1 . These can be downloaded from http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/. This WWW-page also contains detailed information.

The S.u.S.E. X-servers already support the PS/2 protocol. It is thus sufficient to install one of these servers and to choose IntelliMouse for the mouse type (please see http://www.suse.de/XSuSE/).
