Thanks Chris.  But the only thing in the article that
discussed the wheel scroll rate was the following for
firefox:
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action value=0
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines
value=2 

I did make this change, but of course it did not
affect the scroll rate in other Gnome programs like
Gedit or in a terminal window.  Any other ideas on how
to reduce the scroll rate (#lines per wheel notch)?

I'm pretty sure it's a per-application thing.

how to obtain single-line scroll with wheel mouse? (FC5)

[Chris Mohler]

What do you have in your xorg.conf (in the pointer section) for:

Option	"Protocol"

Possibly try "Auto", "ExplorerPS/2", "usb"...

My mouse scrolls appx 3 lines in gedit, but it's a completely different device.

HTH,
Chris
