Hello All: I use FC5 on three different desktop computers and on all of them the scroll wheel on my mouse moves about 8 lines per notch. To me, this is too much and I would like the mouse to scroll only one or two lines. The mouse behaves this way in a variety of programs (python command window, gedit, Lyx, and so on). Does anyone know how to change the scroll rate of a wheel mouse? You can not do it through the Mouse Preferences dialog box. Do you have to change something in the Fedora code and rebuild the system?
For programs running in terminal (gnome-terminal) windows, the scroll wheel moves by 1/2 screen, so a larger window would scroll more lines. It does not appear to be configurable (no setting seen in gconf). You might try a different terminal program.
Here, gedit scrolls by about 4 lines. It does not appear to be configurable (no setting seen in gconf).
I have not checked the source for either program. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
