Scroll Wheel Speed in KDE, witha Razer Mouse???

I just bought a Razer Lachesis, with the firmware on the mouse configured from drivers on my Windows install.
But-
How on Earth do I get the same scroll wheel speed in Arch that I do in Windows?
Some apps-such as system popups (i.e. plasma widgets download popup) follow what looks like the speed set in the mouse on Windows--most user apps do not...doesn't seem to be a Gtk/Qt thing. Some apps such as the latest Opera10 qt4 64bit, do not follow the "Number of Lines to scroll" setting in KDE system settings.
I just reinstalled Arch64 with Vanilla KDE4.2.4, although I had the same annoyance on KDEMod4 stable.

No I have not, how does one set the wheel speed in Xorg? I searched in the Wiki and online and didn't see anything.
I read about setting mouse pointer speed in Xorg in the Wiki, but didn't see anything about scroll speed.

10.4.9 Scroll Wheel Problem - using Safari with a mouse with scroll wheel.

Since installing 10.4.9 I have noticed that when on web sites with Safari, when using the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX1000 Laser cordless mouse (Jan 2005) with Logitech control Center 2.1.3 (latest), suddenly you can no longer scroll using the wheel, in fact the mouse becomes "Dead" (the trackpad, too), so you cannot use the scroll arrows either. You have to quit Safari and restart Safari. Unfortunately this has happened 1-2 times/day and only since installing 10.4.9....... MacBook (May 2006, first ones) 2 gHz RAM.
Any form you are filling-out -- not possible to send, since you cannot click the send button...
Has anyone seen this problem or similar mousing problems running 10.4.9?
Thanks.
Steve Schulte 19 March 2007

NOTE: I have just learned that the Logitech Control Center 2.1.3 is NOT compatible with Mac OS 10.4.9 but that Logitech is working on 2.1.4-- so if others are having a similar problem, then it is not your Mac!
Hopefully this will be out shortly--- and if anyone hears anything, kindly post.

The mouse scroll wheel doesn't work with Xorg

I recently installed Solaris 10 on my x86 box. One issue is that the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work with Xorg. Hmmm... Okay, it sometimes did work, and most of the time went on strike, and recovered at random. This pattern continued.
My mouse is an ordinary PS/2 one with two buttons and a scroll wheel. I want to promise that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it per se. Here is some info:
$ uname -a
SunOS arbiter 5.10 Generic_127112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc

        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
# Note that the only result of explicitly changing protocol to ExplorerPS/2, PS/2, IMPS/2 or whatever else is that the cursor jumped here and there and everywhere when I moved the mouse.I ever post one in comp.unix.solaris to ask for help but got no effective solution. Thank you all.

You remember correctly, Yvan.

Scroll wheel speed

I'm finding the scroll speed using the wheel on my mouse slower in v9 Pro than in v8 Pro. I just did a test with the same document in both programs and it's a noticeable difference. Is there some secret pref I'm missing somewhere?

Problem with Razer mouse

This is actually a problem I had with 10.5 that persists in 10.5. I once had a Razer Copperhead working on my 1st gen MBP 17" using Steermouse. At some point I needed to do an OS reinstall, and in retrospect I think my mistake must have been plugging in the mouse before installing Steermouse, but anyway OSX decided I had an unrecognized type of keyboard and I never did get the thing to work and gave up. Now after the upgrade to 10.6 I still have the mouse not working but I now have the need to use it.
Is there a way to get OSX to forget that the mouse is a keyboard and start from scratch? It is actually shown in System Profiler as a "Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse" but without working.

Im having the same problem. My razer copperhead once worked but now it does not. The mouse shows up in the system profiler without working. Hope someone eventually answers this.

Why isn't the scroll wheel working properly with Firefox 4?

I have a new Windows 7 PC at work with Firefox 4 on it. The scroll wheel on my mouse is not working right. It will work if I use Internet Explorer but I have trouble getting it to work with Firefox. Usually what I have to do is click the wheel to get that mode of scrolling where you move the mouse up and down to scroll the screen and that will work. And then when I click the wheel again to get out of that mode, my scroll wheel will work as expected. But I don't want to have to do that all the time. And sometimes that trick doesn't work. The scroll wheel is working fine with MS Excel and Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer, etc, so it seems to be something the new Firefox has an issue with.

I fixed my problem! I was messing around in msconfig to turn off Lync from my Startup list and noticed something called Mouse Suite 98 was in my Startup. I did a quick google check and learned I could remove it without doing any harm. And voila! My scrollwheel is working properly with Firefox, finally! Hope this helps someone out there.

Loss of Mouse Scroll Wheel Function

I took a leap and a leap of faith upgrading from Firefox 3.something to 11.0. I'm working through the little annoying differences in the user interface, but I'm having a problem with scrolling.
I can't put my finger on any particular web site or page size, but I find that occasionally my mouse scroll wheel will stop working with Firefox and I must use the scroll bar to move through a document. Once it goes, it's gone. I can move to another tab that previously scrolled with the wheel and it no longer does.
If I close Firefox and restart it, the scroll wheel works again (even with the page on which it previously quit. If I leave Firefox running but switch to another application, the scroll wheel works there, so it's unlikely that the driver has become corrupted.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 and Firefox 11.0 (downloaded and installed 4/5/2012)

I doubt that I have a PDF open in another tab because I don't use the PDF plug-in to Firefox. When I go to a web site with a PDF and click on it, I get a pop-up that asks if I want to open it (I use Foxit) or save the file. I often have a PDF open when I'm on a web site however. I just opened one and everything's still OK. Then I went to a web site where I clicked on a PDF and told it to open it with Foxit, and things are still OK.
Like I said, I haven't yet found anything that consistently makes it happen.
As for updates, I really want to know if there's anything specific that might cause this problem. I don't like to make updates, not even Windows updates, unless I see that the update either solves a problem or gives me a feature that I really need. I look at the Windows updates and they all seem to be about security, which isn't a problem here. In the case of installing the new Firefox, I was getting tired of web sites telling me that I had an unsupported web browser (though usually I could get what I wanted). I'm NOT going to just let Windows do what it wants with my computer. I depend on it too much to do that.
Could it be that something that Firefox needs is running out of memory after browsing for a while? Is there something I could check for that? I think I have 1 GB of RAM in this Pentium 4.

Why can I no longer scroll with the mouse when using Pages?

A few days ago, I realized that I am unable to scroll within a Pages document with the mouse. The scroll bar is not there. The scroll feature works fine, and after trying to figure this out myself with no success, I thought I'd ask here. I have Pages '09 and I'm using OS X 10.9.5.

Thanks. That's not the problem. Scrolling works in everything else except Pages. I used to be able to scroll just by using my finger up or down on the mouse. Now, I can't do that. I tried setting the scroll bars to "Always", but then I have to physically click on the scroll bar and move it up and down. Not like it's that much hassle, lol, but I got used to just scrolling with my finger on the mouse.

Mouse Scroll Wheel not working when iTunes is on secondary monitor

Hi,
This is a pretty convoluted problem, but I run two monitors (from the one RADEON videocard) and it seems that the iTunes7 window won't recognize input from my mouse's scroll wheel when the window is positioned on my "secondary" monitor.
I know, it's weird, but it's the case.
I guess this counts more as a bug report than anything else, but I'm hoping something can be done about this soon!
M

Good call. I can confirm that the scroll wheel works any time that your mouse is in a positive coordinate location, does not work in a negative coordinate location. It doesn't matter whether the window straddles the two monitors - only what the mouse coordinate is. This applies for left monitors and (not nearly as common) monitors on top.
This goes to show that it's generally a bad idea to rewrite your own scrolling windows - you're bound to introduce bugs for some combination of input/output devices.

Scroll wheel/ball sizes dust spotter clone/heal tool

Hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere, nor in documentation...
Today I accidentally discovered that the scroll wheel/ball on the new Apple mouse will increase/decrease the size of the heal/clone brush tool. Now you don't have to constantly tap the [ ] keys or take the mouse off of the image to use the slider. Just roll the wheel up or down. Cool!

Perhaps I've missed old threads in which LR users have raved about the new LR clone tool, but...in case there hasn't been proper appreciation expressed, here goes:
I think LR's implementation of the clone tool is absolutely brilliant! The variability of brush diameter via scroll-wheel is just the tip of the iceburg.
Yes, Photoshop's clone tool has the ability to be used in discrete layers, but I think LR's clone tool neatly gives the user an almost equivalent ability and then much, much more as well. IMHO, LR's ability to modify (retrospectively!!!) the position and size of cloned areas (both for source and destination spots) is extremely powerful.
Now...all that's needed is for the next version of LR to have the ability to change clone tool shape and "hardness".

Firefox Ignores Scroll Wheel

Installed Snow Leopard on Friday, and I'm only having one problem: Firefox is ignoring the scroll wheel on my Logitech LX3 Optical Mouse. The OS and all other apps seem to be fine. I followed a tip on tuaw.com to reinstall the Logitech Control Center, but it didn't fix the problem. I plugged in my Mighty Mouse, but it won't scroll either. I can scroll inside a textarea, but not the main Firefox window. Scrolling worked fine before the Snow Leopard upgrade.

that's weird. then I would try cdeleting com.mozilla.firefox.plist and maybe other mizilla plists from /users/username/library/preferences. then start firefox and see if that helps. another thing to try is clearing all user and system cache files. use YASU for that

Raised scroll wheel issue

My nano's scroll wheel feels slightly raised and as if I could easily pry it off, especially at the top and bottom. Is this part of the new design or is it a legitimate problem? The reason I ask is because my last two ipods, a 1st gen nano and a 4th gen classic both have scroll wheels that are aligned with the face of the ipod and i can't feel any edges on them. Has anybody else had this problem ?
Message was edited by: TimidTiger

I just got my wife a 3rd gen Nano and I think it has the same issue. My 5th gen 60gb is not like that, so i doubt it was designed that way...
Anyone else?

How do I prevent tab focus from changing when I scroll tabs with the mouse wheel? [SOLVED]

Whenever I scroll my tabs with the mouse scroll wheel the tab focus changes from the page I'm currently on to the tab being scrolled to. I usually have a large list of tabs open and I depend on being able to scroll tabs without changing page focus to keep myself organized.
Also, I'd like to disable tab scroll wrapping; Once I've scrolled my tabs to the end I'd like it to stop scrolling, not wrap around to the start of my tabs.
Is there a way to disable these features and revert to the tab scrolling behaviour of a previous version of Firefox?

This is not a standard feature and can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Bug: scrolling with mouse scroll wheel while dragging tracks no longer works

After upgrading to Spotify for Mac 1.0.2.6, I can no longer use my mouse's scroll wheel while dragging tracks to a different position in a playlist. This is an important feature when working with long playlists. Steps to reproduce:Create a playlist that extends past the bottom of the windowClick and begin dragging the first song on the playlist downwardUse your mouse's scroll wheel to scroll the playlist down. It will not scroll.

Hey ,
Thanks for letting us know.
We don't have any update on this yet and we'll pass the information on to the right team.
We'll keep you posted.
Thanks!

Scrolling upwards with mouse scroll wheel behaves strange

Hi,
I have a pretty plain installation that I have not done anything particular to configure the mouse or anything. It is just a plain Dell two button usb mouse with scroll wheel. That has been plugged in and seems to work ok, except the upward scrolling.
Scrolling down both fast and slow works ok.
When scrolling up it seems to not work completly as expected. The way I would describe it is that it mostly scrolls up, but at random intervals pops downward a bit then if you continue to scroll up it goes up again.
This happens in all programs that you can use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down with, such as Firefox or Eclipse.
Is this a bug, or something that is not configured right?

You'll never know. Life is unexpected
And please mark this as [Solve].
Noone cares to do this these days.
