Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm running under debian sid. gpm works good with left and right
button. But I don't have the mouse wheel. I have run 'mev' under tty1
and scrolled...but no event appear. Is it normal or is it a bug from
gpm ? should I add an option in my gpm.conf to enable it (I don't see
any wheel option in the manpage...) ?

Thanks for this great app!
Regards,
Guillaume
