[WORKAROUND with imwheel]lIn KDE mouse scrooling settings doesn't work

Hi

I have bought Logitech mouse for my laptop. "Xinput list" recognizes it as:

Logitech USB Optical Mouse 

It works great but in mouse settings i can not set mouse weel scroll lines. It just doesn't work. For example it works if i choose invert scroll but not if i set, let's say, mouse weel scroll for 7 lines. All the time it is set for 3 lines scrolling. But it works in firefox if i set in about:config.

My dmesg:

[ 7490.225988] usb 6-1: new low-speed USB device number 5 using uhci_hcd
[ 7490.408022] input: Logitech USB Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/input/input13
[ 7490.408218] generic-usb 0003:046D:C05A.0006: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0

Thanks for any suggestions how to enable adjust mouse scrolling.

Search for imwheel. I have just configured it for scrolling in Opera.

I have tried imwheel but for me it works only per application and not globaly. I have used ".*" sign in ~/.imwheelrc for global settings but it didn't worked. Any idea?

I've got it. My .imwheelrc:

".*"
None, Button4, Up,  8
None, Button5, Down, 8

Only two issues. If i scroll, let's say, in libreoffice the cursor goes down too. The other issue is that if i have one window in focus i can't go scroll down/up the one that it is not in focus. That is annoying and don't know how to fix it. Any idea?
