freebsd-ports/x11/imwheel/pkg-descr

IMWheel translates mouse wheel activity into keycodes for X11 applications,
using a configuration file that allows per-user translation preferences.

For more information on setting up your wheeled mouse to work with X, see
either the imwheel man page or the FreeBSD FAQ.

Update to imwheel-0.9.9, which fixes a root exploit in the case where imwheel is setuid root. Note that the port doesn't install imwheel setuid root, so the problem would not have affected users of the port / package. Regardless, it's bad PR to make mouse wheel support so visible in the FAQ and then keep a known-bad version of the supporting software in the ports tree. This update is derived from broken patches received by way of the maintainer, who no longer has time to maintain the port. This port is now looking for a maintainer.

The imwheel port maps mouse button events to X keyboard events. This can be used to use the wheel on mice such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse and the Logitech TrackMan+ in X. 2000-02-24 00:30:22 +01:00
