Scroll Wheel in XBMC

[IriDium]

So if I read this correctly. XBMC relies on X (whatever version) to interpret the mouse wheel commands and to act upon them. as RPi doesn't use X, then this information is sent into the big black ether. So until XBMC is programmed to handle mouse wheel commands it will never work?

So how do all the other commands still work? Click, left right and movement? Are they programmed into XBMC? If so, why where mouse wheels not programmed into XBMC? (They obviously were as the commands can be mapped)

I'm only curious, don't spend any time on it - but I'm interested.
