Even enabling a scrollmouse in Ubuntu needs a restart! >> what a joke!

Enable mouse scroll under VMware guest
In case where using guest Linux under VMware, mouse scroll does not work.
To fix this, open terminal and type the following:
$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then find "InputDevice" section with Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Change Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
to
Option Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Last *restart* X using Ctrl + Alt + Backspace

That's restarting *X*, not the entire OS. Your subject is misleading.
And I bet using "Option Option" will give you problems :-p

X is only a program... unlike windows where you have to reboot the entire os
for things like this...

I'm waiting for Clog The Stupid (TM) to reveal who wrote X by looking up
the domain owner of where it is hosted.
