Just can't recall how now. > With KDE, in the Control Center: "Peripherals -> Mouse" under the: "Advanced" > tab you can choose how many scroll lines per click of the wheel.

Or at least I see no problems with mouse motion. Seems to be confined to scrolling with arrow keys and cursor motion with arrow keys or back space. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
