Support for the Microsoft Intellimouse is enabled in our X Windows setup by default; however, you must configure a few extra options in your ~/.Xdefaults file in order to get it to work with some applications (such as Netscape). You can find the text to be added on the Colas Nahaboo X mouse wheel scroll page. Simply copy the text for the application program(s) you require, paste it into your ~/.XDefaults file, and the next time you log in to X Windows, you will be able to use the mouse wheel to scroll in your applications.
