psmouse_proto=exps

[Greg Fitzgerald]

Hi,

	I am using a Raritan Switchman kvm switch, with a Logitech MX 500 optical mouse. I have tried using 2.6.0, 2.6.0-mm1, 2.6.0-mm2, and 2.6.0-bk1. I can move the mouse around with no problems but when i try to use my scrollwheel instead of scrolling up and down my mouse cursor just moves across the screen. It works perfect in 2.4.23. I been reading the lists and i have tried using psmouse_proto=exps but have had the same results, i even tried the other drivers just to see if that would fix it but i keep coming up with the same results. Anyone have some ideas? Thanks in adavance.

Do you have psmouse as a module or compiled in? If it's compiled in you
have to use psmouse.psmouse_proto=exps for the parameter to be recognized
or apply the patch below.

	a while now. I guess i overlooked that when i was reading the source for psmouse-base.c. Thanks again!
