By default, baudline automatically supports the scroll wheel for sliding vertical scroll bars. Holding down the hotkey transforms a move action in a zoom action. Used with the key modifier the vertical direction changes to the horizontal direction. If you haven’t already done so, your X11 server will need to be configured to work with the scroll wheel by adding ZAxisMapping information. If you are using a 3.3.x version of the X server then modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config file to contain this information: Section “Pointer” Protocol “IMPS/2” Device “/dev/mouse” Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 4 5 If you are using a 4.x version of the X server then modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config file to contain this information: Section “InputDevice” Identifier “Mouse1” Driver “mouse” Option “Protocol” “IMPS/2” Option “Device” “/dev/psaux” Option “Emulate3Buttons” “off” Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5” EndSection The IMPS/2 is very important as the Generic PS/2 protocol doesn’t know about scroll wheels.
