Mouse wheel problems while gaming

[gemauer]

Hi guys

yesterday evening I found time to play online (Urban Terror) for the first time since I upgraded to mageia 2 and the mouse wheel drove me crazy. It worked it stopped working and then it worked again ... aaaarg. Finally I could narrow it down to "not working while moving the mouse".

google found the following thread including a solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138322

Is it possible to build the fix in the mageia packages?

greetings

Hi again

I thought it might help users explaining the problem, stopping people from buying a new mouse.

and I thought it might help users pointing out a possible solution for people that are willing and/or capable of rebuilding the X-server.

I do as you say and file a bug report but I can't do the "solved" thing, because as far as I see it, it is not solved until the fix is build-in in the regular update packages or at least a testing one.
