[Linuxwacom-discuss] Is Intuos2 4D mouse wheel supported?

[Allen A. <ak...@po...>]

Specifically, can it generate button events so that it works well with
applications that are designed for use with other wheel mice?

I've tried several different drivers.  The ones I'm running currently
are the 0.5.2-beta drivers, built from source.  (In particular, not the
0.5.2-beta prebuilt version of wacom_drv.o.)  This is on an up-to-date
version of RedHat 9, with XFree86 4.3.0.  After tweaking parameters for
a while everything works nicely except the wheel, which seems to
generate no X events at all.  Here are the relevant sections from my
XF86Config file:

	Section "ServerLayout"

	EndSection

I did grab the current CVS trunk and build it, but it looks like there
are so many undocumented changes (particularly to the XF86Config
options) that I wasn't sure I wanted to try it unless it's likely to
solve the wheel problem without introducing any others.

So, does anyone have any advice?  Have I messed up my configuration
somehow, or is the current CVS driver the right thing to use, or should
I try something else altogether?

Thanks!
