If you buy a cheap Logitech or Genius mouse, those are only slightly more expensive than the bottm=om-line noname rodents, you'll probably have no problems to get the 3rd button to work by default. Maybe it is the ClearDTR directive that fscks up gpm. If you can only find the noname mice, there is a way with many of those to make them talk mousesystems instead of microsoft. It involves soldering one of the pins of the ic inside the mouse to 0V or +5V (I forget which one exactly.) There used to be a 3-button mouse mini-HOWTO that describes this. > And one tip from me, too: > use > > $ startx -- -bpp 16 > > to start to X in 16 bit mode (or with -bpp 24, for true color).
