If not you have to enable it on your X server. Probably you've chosen a simple PS/2 mouse in your X configuration, so the X server is not looking for any sort of wheel motion. You need to choose a mouse driver like ImPS/2, and enable ZAxixMapping; for example from my /etc/X11/XF86Config file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Note this might not be right for your mouse, depending on what kind you have. Anyway, unless your wheel works for all other apps _except_ for Emacs, for more info please post to a group or list that's related to Linux, Red Hat, or XFree86 in particular: this isn't an Emacs issue. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
