i have a XLR8 Poing&Scroll USB mouse, works great right away in YDL, 3
buttons working(middle is the scroll wheel) AND if I use XFree86 as an X
server scrolling works with various programs right off too. x.themes.org
has a Xdefaults file that contains more wheel settings to allow scrolling in
programs like netscape and emacs and xterm i think. so with that xdefaults i
have scrolling in netscape, xmms, gnome/gtk programs. and various others.
it's awesome. now after my YDL 1.2 reinstall, emacs isn't reading my
.Xdefaults.... other than that things are peachy. :-P
