[arch-general] Wheel Problem

[Guillermo Leira]

Hello!

I'm using VMware Server, and the VM is up to date.

I'll try to disable hotplugging... I can't find any documentation about the hal files.

Anyway, it is not necessary in a virtual machine.

Thanks,

Guillermo Leira

Hmmm ... dunno.  I'm not seeing this in my Arch VM using Fluxbox.  Wheel 
down sends button 5 events, and wheel up sends button 4.  I'm using X 
hotplugging as well - i.e., evdev and HAL.

I'm using Virtualbox, however.  Sounds like you're using VMWare.

Is the VM up to date with the latest Arch packages?

Not sure what else to tell you.  :-(
