Re: [Linuxwacom-discuss] using touch strip on Intuos3 as scroll wheel

[Ping@LinuxWacom <pin...@gm...>]

Jim,

In theory, xsetwacom set pad striplup "core button 4" and  xsetwacom
set pad stripldn "core button 5"  should do the work.  But, somehow, I
don't know why, pad doesn't emit mouse event.  I need people who has
more X Input experience to help me out. Or wait until I have time to
investigate it myself.

This was an known issue.
