User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510

Description of problem:
emacs in recent versions of RH have supported mouse wheel scrolling.  RH 7.3
seems to have done away with that.  This snipped of code from /etc/skel/emacs
seems to suggest that RH intended on supported mouse wheel out of the box)

;; Enable wheelmouse support by default
(cond (window-system
       (mwheel-install)
))

Mouse wheel scrolling is working as expected with all other applications
(including remote emacs off of RH 7.1, RH 7.2 boxes) 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start emacs
2. Attemp scroll with mouse wheel
3. beeeeep

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-05-22 16:49:09 EDT

Works out of the box with a new account, or if I copy the file from skel to
root's account.

Remember, this file is only copied into new accounts. What people have in their
homedirs is a different issue.
