That reminds me a discussion in this ML. Google has found the following

It also has impact on BIOS and VDI if we want to implement wheel support in
the ROM TOS - like I did on the Milan. That's why I did not use the TORG
method: is was impossible to implement that in a useful way.

I haven't read TORG105 recently, but AFAIR the situation regarding TORG105  
is the same: AES (xaaes, myaes), gemlib, cflib, windom... none of them  
support TORG 105

In the other hand, XaAES supports mouse wheel, and IIRC this is compatible  
with milanOS (to be confirmed). Maybe we can adopt XaAES way as the  
standard ?

If we agree, i can update gemlib docu on the subject, and then there will  
be a doc about this ;)

best regards,
Arnaud.
