    T21 - Mouse Scroll Wheel Inop !!!

    Background:
    I bought a "refurbished" T21 for the purpose of setting up a dual-boot Win98SE/Linux notebook.
    It came with Win98SE installed on 20 gig hard drive. I used Fdisk to repartition into two 10 gig drives. I installed Win98SE on "front partition" and Red Hat 8.0 on "back partition".

    Problem:

    Right now, the PS2 mouse scroll wheel is "inop" !!

    I "seem to recall" that the scroll wheel "worked" when I first got the notebook [with the Win98SE ONLY setup]and even the FIRST TIME I reinstalled Win98SE.

    I have actually installed Win98SE TWICE on the 10 gig partition, due to a "Linux problem".

    I believe I reinstalled all necessary drivers, etc.. everything seems to be "operational" and everything on the "Thinkpad Configuration" window is showing a "green light".

    Can anyone point out a file/driver that might be missing ??? Or give any other solution to get the scroll wheel working ???
