Hey

hoping this will be of use to some of you.

I had a relatively smooth emerge world update.
fixed a problem with X server - ran into something where I needed
AllowEmptyInput "false"
so I made that change.

But that was relatively quick.

Took me quite a bit longer (a few hours?)
to figure out how to get my mouse to scroll again.
Fix was easy though.

Where I previously had
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
that just needed to be
Option "Protocol" "auto"

oddly, I didn't really "solve" this problem I just stumbled upon it while trying possible solutions.

My final InputDevice Section (for now) with the scrollable mouse:
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    #Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"        # PS/2 Mouse
    Option "Protocol"    "auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5 6 7"

#    Option "EmulateWheel"      "on"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"   "Yes"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

EndSection


I'll probably spend some time to get this udev / evdev upgraded but glad to have the
system in good shape for the moment.
