Is there way to reverse the scroll wheel direction on IGEL OS


Is there way to reverse the scroll wheel direction? I see the setting for reversing on the touchpad. I mean reversing the wheel that is part of the mouse.

That’s it thanks!

What is the method to run that command line at boot so the setting sticks?


Create a Profile called — Mouse Wheel change

Put in as Final Desktop Command

kb.igel.com/igelos-11.08.330/en/desktop-88022074.html

Final desktop command

• Runs after each user logon and desktop restart

• User logged on (Kerberos, smartcard etc.)

• User desktop launched


Ok that works. does the custom command box run like a bash script or is it just a line by line run?

the command works but i did see the id change once

after a reboot

may need to put logic so that it queries id based on device name


Yes… you should base on name vs. number..

Some notes here

One option would be udev rules. www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

In this way, the rule would also be applied when the mouse is plugged in well after a reboot. The IGEL OS utilizes udev already, so it’s matter of creating the new “rule” file, and triggering the udevadm to reevaluate the new rule file that you created.

Admittedly it takes some looking into, and I don’t think you’ll find anything in the official support docs/kb.

Here’s a link to a sample udev rule:

With some minor tweaking, it should usable for your purpose as well: igelcommunity.slack.com/archives/C015V0F5KFY/p1662376605016899?thread_ts=1662366953.561939&channel=C015V0F5KFY&message_ts=1662376605.016899 igelcommunity.slack.com/archives/C015V0F5KFY/p1662376605016899?thread_ts=1662366953.561939&channel=C015V0F5KFY&message_ts=1662376605.016899

Also, does this option not work well for you? (It does reverse both the trackpad and usb mouse scrollwheel at once). igelcommunity.slack.com/archives/C8GP9JHQE/p1678101708138159?thread_ts=1654614567.923799&channel=C8GP9JHQE&message_ts=1678101708.138159 igelcommunity.slack.com/archives/C8GP9JHQE/p1678101708138159?thread_ts=1654614567.923799&channel=C8GP9JHQE&message_ts=1678101708.138159
