Subject: gpm: no mouse wheel under linux console

Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:41:20 +0200

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm running under debian sid. gpm works good with left and right
button. But I don't have the mouse wheel. I have run 'mev' under tty1
and scrolled...but no event appear. Is it normal or is it a bug from
gpm ? should I add an option in my gpm.conf to enable it (I don't see
any wheel option in the manpage...) ?

Thanks for this great app!
Regards,
Guillaume

Subject: [gpm] Scroll wheels are supported

Date: Sat, 01 Jan 2011 15:10:41 +0000

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-3.3

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When testing with mev, events are triggered when using the scroll wheel, 
although the content of the output doesnt change.

There are no extra options for enabling wheel mice, but wheel support is 
definitely available.

I think this bug can be closed
