Hello,
I think that some persons on this list may be interested in knowing
that in order to have tp-scroll working with Fedora 2 you have to change
all occurrences of /dev/mouse into /dev/input/mice. This in particular
applies to /etc/rc.local or, if you used rpm from Dag Wieers's
repository, to /etc/sysconfig/tp-scroll.
It took me some time to figure it out. Hope this mail can spare that
time to somebody else
Cheers

P.S. To sum up the instructions are:
- install tp-scroll-1.0-1.1.fc2.dag
- modify /etc/sysconfig/tp-scroll by specifying
INPUT_DEVICE="/dev/input/mice"
- patch /etc/X11/xorg.conf Input Device section as follows
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Original Fedora generic mouse with scroll
# Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
# Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
# Modification for tp-scroll
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/imouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
