Wheeled mice </A></H2> <P>Mice with wheels have emerged in the last few years, starting with the Microsoft Intellimouse and spreading to other manufacturers. The wheel can be clicked like a button, or rolled up and down. Far and away the best reference for information is <A HREF="http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/">http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/</A> which describes how to get lots of X applications to recognise the scrolling action. <P> <P>In general, you'll need a fairly new Xserver to use the scrolling action, but some older servers will recognise the clicking actions. For instance, the Intellimouse is supported by XFree 3.3.1 and later. <P> <HR> <A HREF="3-Button-Mouse-8.html">Next</A> <A HREF="3-Button-Mouse-6.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="3-Button-Mouse.html#toc7">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
