I'm no expert on this - perhaps someone else can help more.

But if the value of `mouse-wheel-scroll-amount' is 1 (or 2 etc.) then that is
wrong.  It needs to be an alist or a number representing the fraction of the
screen to scroll.

Use `M-x customize-option' to change the option - do not just `setq' it to an
integer value.  Read the variable's doc (`C-h v').

Wrt keystroke echoing, you can use `echo-keystrokes', as I mentioned.
You also have `C-h l', to see the last 100 keystrokes.
