Subject: gpm: gpm doesn't support wheelmice

Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 14:44:24 -0500

Package: gpm
Version: 1.17.8-11
Severity: wishlist

merc, i found a patch that makes imwheel work correctly with gpm and micewheels:
http://solaris1.mysolution.com/~jcatki/imwheel/

unfortunately the patch works fine with 1.16.0 gpm source, but bombs utterly on
the latest. gonna need some heavy hacking... i'm running a local gpm now, works
pretty well.

gpm actually does support wheelmice; however, its method of enabling the wheel
on mice is NOT DOCUMENTED anywhere. please close this bug when an adequate
README file on wheelmice has been written.

Subject: [gpm] Wheelmice are supported, documentation not really necessary.

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-3.3

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

I've had a look at the source for elinks (which allows the use of the scroll 
wheel using GPM) and I've had a look at the source for GPM.

GPM does support wheelmice... if the application is written to take advantage 
of this.

GPM these days auto configures the gpm.conf and there are no hidden options to 
enable or disable wheel mice that I can see, therefore I don't think their is 
anything to document (at least about wheelmice).

I think this bug can be closed.
