But what I have is: GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of 2009-11-10 on crested, modified by Debian This is on Ubuntu 9.10. It claims to have GTK support. >=20 >> >> Scrollbars of other applications behave like this: To scroll, one >> presses the left mouse button on the slider. Then one drags the mouse >> around.

I have a mouse with a scroll-wheel. An I use it a lot. But often I have to skip more than a few lines. Moving a quarter of a 4000 lines source file means to move 1000 lines. I use to do that with the scroll bar, rather than with a hundred wheel turns. >=20 >> Can I somehow configure the "normal" X11 behavior, which former versio= ns >> of emacs used to follow too? >=20 >=20 > Invoke >=20 > ./configure --help >=20 > and see all options! I'm lazy and use to use packages from the distribution. But if you can confirm that building from source fixes my problem, I'll do that.
