imwheel says to use protocol "IMPS/2" but if I do that, with or
without gpm running the mouse pointer flies to the upper right
corner of the screen and is useless.  If I just use the "PS/2"
protocol in XF86Config then it recognized the mouse wheel press
as a button press but no scrolling.

xev shows mouse wheel motion as mouse motion(movement on the
mousepad) and the mouse cursor moves slightly up and down
with rotation of the mouse wheel but no scrolling.  Nothing
provides any button 4 or button 5 event, even though my
XF86Config has the zaxismapping set for 4 5.

Anyone have this working on Gateway machines?

TIA

My only point was to let you know the problem is not likely to be the
mouse or Gateway, since others have the exact symptoms.

I hope that someone knows a fix...

You need the imwheel package to run it. It comes with mandrake, i'm not
sure about redhat (don't have my RH disk right here) If you don't have
it, do a search for it on the net, download it, and read the
accompanying documentation
