Links Web Browser - Mouse Scroll??

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to enable the mouse wheel to go page-up and page-down,or scroll, in Links.

I can click urls with the mouse and select stuff but I can't seem to scroll.

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

I know it works "out-of-the-box" with elinks. Not sure about links though.

I believe gpm does this.  Used it in Gentoo, think it has to go in the daemons array.

GPM does not work for the wheel, as far as I know.
But you may try the imwheel package from extra.

Also have a look at the Get All Mouse Buttons Working wiki.

To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Thanks for your response but, for me, elinks doesn't scroll out of the box either.

Thanks for your response, I did try gpm before but I read that it wasn't for scrolling.

I've been looking at imwheel and not convinced that is the answer. I also had a look at that wiki before hand to no avail. Thanks anyway.

I'll post back if I find out what is wrong. It's probably some kernel module somewhere, I think...

Re: Links Web Browser - Mouse Scroll??

That Macintosh stuff is normal for Microsoft mouse in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. My MS Intellieye usb mouse (with 2 buttons and scroll wheel) has same Macintosh entries. And scroll works fine in kde and xfce. (Remember MS owns 1/3 of Mac) I don't use links or elink. Good luck.
