I find I have to scroll a lot to move the text of my page compared to Windows where I can choose the speed of the mouse wheel.
Does Ubuntu have a similar utility and if so how can I access it?
previously worked
echo "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12" > ~/.Xmodmap && xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
didn't work
I recently upgraded a 10.10 server (headless, EC2) to 11.04 and then to 11.10. Both upgrades seem to have worked, but now my terminal acts differently, particularly concerning output scrolling. I am accessing this server via Terminal on a 11.10 Desktop (GNOME fallback).
10.10 Behavior:
- A scroll bar is displayed on the right side of my Terminal, allowing me to scroll back to older output
- Turning the mouse wheel scrolls back to older output
11.10 Behavior:
- No scroll bar is visible
- Turning the mouse wheel cycles the current line through my command history (same as UP key)
This is a difficult issue to describe succinctly and I've had no luck finding any information about this. But I've performed the same upgrade several times (10.10->11.10) and the result is always the same concerning Terminal scrolling. Output scrolling is very important to me and something I take for granted - I'm concerned I'll be unable to work effectively on this server until I resolve this.
Update - Problem magically gone after logout/login Well, as I said I've done the same upgrade several times and encountered the same problem. However, in the previous tries I was scared away and gave up. This time I was more determined to finish the upgrade and by simply logging out and back in to the server via SSH the problem has corrected itself.
The issue is similar to this: Thinkpad middle button scrolling
But here, I have an average computer. Basically, when I press the middle button in Windows and move the cursor a little from the starting position the page starts scrolling which is very convenient because I don't have to scroll the wheel madly.
I looked at the second solution to the question mentioned earlier; the button drop down menu is greyed out.
Thanks in advance.
My mouse wheel has stopped working. It doesn't scroll up and down when previously it worked. How can I configure what each button of the mouse does? I use Ubuntu 10.10.
