26 ;; This code will enable the use of the infamous 'wheel' on the new
27 ;; crop of mice. Under XFree86 and the XSuSE X Servers, the wheel
28 ;; events are sent as button4/button5 events.
30 ;; I for one would prefer some way of converting the button4/button5
31 ;; events into different event types, like 'mwheel-up' or
32 ;; 'mwheel-down', but I cannot find a way to do this very easily (or
33 ;; portably), so for now I just live with it.
35 ;; To enable this code, simply put this at the top of your .emacs
