Attach your X server log file, config file, and /var/log/messages file as uncompressed file attachments using the link below. After looking through some other bugs for RH9/XFree86, I diffed the XF86Config between this box (with the problem) and another identically configured Dell machine, and the problem came down to this one difference in the ServerLayout section: InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" If I remove that line, the mouse wheel works correctly. Based on the comments in bug #89061, either redhat-config-xfree86 should keep that line out of XF86Config unless it really needs to be there (e.g. laptops with two mouse devices), or it's a XFree86 driver bug. Ok, so I tried removing my XF86Config, and running redhat-config-xfree86, and the resulting XF86Config file didn't have the AlwaysCore option (nor a SendCoreEvents). So I'm not sure how it got there in the first place... Does redhat-config-mouse change XF86Config? Between this problem and another one in GNOME that turned out to be nothing, I ran redhat-config-mouse quite a bit before finalizing on the current, working setting. Not sure, I'm not involved in config tool development. I've Cc'd Brent however for comment. Yes, redhat-config-mouse does change XF86Config. With the 2.6 kernel, all mice will use the same kernel device (/dev/input/mice), so mouse configuration becomes a non-issue. In fact, redhat-config-mouse has been taken out of the latest Rawhide trees because it isn't needed any more. |
