RE: No Mouse Wheel Support with -fullscreen

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Your test must not have been very precise, because mouse wheel support in
Cygwin/XFree86 in not at all dependent on whether you are running in
fullscreen mode or not.  Perhaps you need to update your version of DirectX
(though that really should have nothing to do with it):
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Or, you could run a more precise test by launching Cygwin/XFree86, then
running:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xev

Move the mouse cursor over the xev window, roll the mouse, and record the
events for buttons for and 5.  Then, launch in fullscreen mode and do the
same thing.  Something else is going on if the events are the same.  If the
events aren't showing up at all in fullscreen then you likely have something
wrong with your mouse driver or DirectX.

You could also try running with -engine 1, instead of the default -engine 4,
as -engine 1 doesn't use DirectX at all, thus eliminating one cause of
problems.

Report your results to the list,

Harold
