I'm not sure what scrollbar you're referring to, but maybe in a browser?
There are several configurable settings in FireFox/IceWeasel that control
how scrolling via the mouse wheel works; try entering "about:config" as
a url, and poke around a bit.

Hi,
I use evdev on a Lenny/Sid and don't have problems with scrolling:
If you're referring to Iceweasel then there's settings you can change
easily in the "settings" panel (like disabling smooth and/or auto
scrolling) , or you can use an add-on like "SmoothWheel" or "Yet Another
Smooth Scrolling" which are easy to configure and full of options.
What video driver are you using ? Is the bad scrolling linked to some
web pages only, like Flash ?

It just is unworkable. Have to use the scrollbar.
Unfortunately using FF on XP under VMware it's terrific.
Anybody have good experiences with mousewheel scroll?

Hi Hugo,
I'm not quite sure what difficult you have encountered. I learned a
bitter experience on mouse before, almost unable to control it. Later
I found a scanning program taking up >96% CPU usage. Please run "top"
on terminal to check whether is there any program taking up large CPU
resource.

I am aware of those. Makes no diff.

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run
Poor scrolling is general.

I'm running NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.18-pkg2.run, it's a beta but no
problem so far, and it was the only one to build on my 2.6.28 kernel
when I installed it. Card is a GeForce 8600GT. As said evdev is
1:2.0.8-1 here, so maybe you're victim of a regression in never package ?
Nothing special in the video driver, option composite is set to "true".
I use evdev because it's the only one giving me horizontal scrolling
with my logitech mouse.
I have no problem whatsoever with scrolling/OpenGl/browser.

and the mouse is a 2 wheel optical mouse. Only with evdev can I get
horizontal scroll to work right with the 2nd wheel. But the vertical
scroll with the first wheel is a fright. It just barely works.
Except with XP under VMware it works just beautifully, but there I
cannot use the 2nd wheel.
I'll try upgrading the evdev driver but I don't hold out much hope.

I run a two-seat. Something very interesting: on "my seat" vertical
scroll is poor. But on "the other seat" it is not!
