[9fans] scroll

[Sergey Reva]

Hello Fans,

Long time ago I heard something about support mouse with scroll in Plan 9,
how I can use it? Thanks in advice.

no, scroll events appear as button 4 and 5 clicks.

No. BTW, one can do also 

% echo intellimouse > /dev/mousectl

to test it, instead of changing plan9.ini.

Hello Fans

>> % echo intellimouse > /dev/mousectl

Yes, I need firstly read man pages, but anyway thanks!

Maybe someone interesting, but maybe I have old libdraw:
in event.c, in function emouse() some string very strange:
event.c>>   m.buttons=b&7;
I think it need to be changed to m.buttons=b&0x1F because scroll event
have code 8 and 16.

If this error present in current version, someone can patch it, because I can't send
patch :-|

I had some trouble with the scroll wheel with a particular KVM
yesterday so I plugged the mouse straight into the computer [PS/2 port
using a USB->PS/2 adapter the mouse came with] and everything is "like
butter". [works great]
