<P>Mice with wheels have emerged in the last few years, starting with the
Microsoft Intellimouse and spreading to other manufacturers. The wheel can
be clicked like a button, or rolled up and down.
Far and away the best reference for information is
<A HREF="http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/">http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/</A>
which describes how to get lots of X applications to recognise the
scrolling action.
<P>
<P>In general, you'll need a fairly new Xserver to use the scrolling action,
but some older servers will recognise the clicking actions. For instance,
the Intellimouse is supported by XFree 3.3.1 and later.
