Now I have a nice Logitech wireless kyb/mouse plugged into the KVM. The use wheel is working on my Win32 systems and on 2 other Centos builds.

Now in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf the Input Device protocol is "IMPS/2"

I think this is an Xorg bug. I have a similar problem with the mouse with a Ubuntu install that I was experimenting with. The same hardware works fine with an older linux dist that has XFree86.

I suspect that the problem is that Xorg has abandoned support for some older hardware, but the system isn't *that* old (originally purchased around 2001, I think).
