[Gllug] Nothing Simple

[Hall RJ]

I had the same problem with my KVM switch and mouse.   Setting the mouse
type to PS/2 instead of any type of wheel mouse fixed it for me.   The wheel
doesn't work anymore it just acts as a middle button but that doesn't stop
me repeatedly forgetting and trying to scroll with it.   I think it's time
the KVM manufacturers fixed this problem as it is not just one make that
doesn't work.   Or someone needs to come up with a Linux mouse driver
specifically for KVM switches

It is, as you say, a total mess. And utterly undocumented, as far as I 
can tell.

We have been doing a lot of X customisation recently, I wish I'd been 
able to read this first. Like you I had to work out what was going on 
by trawling through the /etc/X11 scripts.

No more wm-style I think. Now we have /etc/sysconfig/desktop.
Anyway I think this will make an excellent starting point for my own 
documentation, will let people know when it's finished. Would this make 
a Gllug talk do you think?
