IMWheel is a universal mouse wheel and mouse stick translator for the X Windows System. Using either a special version of gpm and it's /dev/gpmwheel FIFO, or the support for a ZAxis on the mouse built into some servers, such as XFree86. Utilizing the input from gpm or X Win- dows, imwheel translates mouse wheel and mouse stick actions into key- board events using the XTest extension to X. Use xdpyinfo for informa- tion on the supported extensions in your X server. This build script has a patch that disables the configurator appearing when you mouse up and down on the root window. I did this because it stopped the ability for workspace changing in fluxbox and other WMs and it would also pop up at the most annoying times ;) The configurator window can still be found however with the -c switch. To stop this patch from applying you only need edit the line in the slackbuild script.
