Enabling the mouseweel...

[Jon Tallbacka]

I have been searching for an update/patch for HP-UX which enables the mouseweel.

Anyone?

[Alex Glennie]

Last time I looked PS/2 wheel mouse devices
were currently unsupported on HP-UX but check the relevant Xserver patch for your O/S ....extract from patch text : PHSS_23555
s700_800 10.20 Xserver cumulative patch

JAGad31818: PS/2 wheel mouse attached via PS/2->USB Y-mouse can hang the Xserver when the wheels rotated. NOTE: PS/2 wheel mouse devices are currently unsupported on HP-UX, but
this defect fix will allow them to be work
in conjunction with a Y-mouse.

I agree with Alex, but it would be interesting in knowing what kind of server you are attaching this to, and what kind of interface.

Thanks for taking the time to answer...

Some additional info:
OP.SYS.: HP-UX 10.20
HW: HP-9000 (C3000)
Mouse: USB mouse

I have printed the info. Alex gave me for implementation and I will return with the result.

Further to my question. It was generaly related to the CDE and netscape interfaces on the C-3000, because when I use the Xterminal X-Win-Pro from "Labtam" I can use the mouse scroller if I set it up in the configuration but not when I'm physically present and logged on the Server (C3000).
