My applogies, I sent the wrong version of XF86Config (I have several as I tried to get the most out of the display _and_ get the wheel working). The pointer section that matches the mouse trial is below. Note that this is the XFree version 3 since version 4 (and xorg) doesn't work properly with my S3 video. As I understand it from the man pages, wsmouse abstracts USB/ps2/ and intellimouse but _not_ ImPS/2. So the question is: can I get wsmouse to pass the data raw (and not abstract anything) or ignore the mouse altogehter and get a /dev/ entry to point X at? With all the various boxes I've used this mouse, I had to tell X to use protocol IMPS/2. I tried with and without the "Buttons" line but the XFConfig man page says that the buttons used for ZAxisMapping have to be taken into consideration. The mouse has 4 real buttons plus the wheel that acts like a middle button, plus the wheel rolling events (one "button" for each direction). Thanks, Doug. Here's the pointer section: # ********************************************************************** # Pointer section # ********************************************************************** Section "Pointer" Protocol "wsmouse" Device "/dev/wsmouse" #### try to get wheel to work Buttons 7 ZAxisMapping 4 5 # When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment # the following line. # Protocol "Xqueue" # Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice # or for the AceCad tablets which require 9600 baud # BaudRate 9600 # SampleRate 150 # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms) Emulate3Buttons Emulate3Timeout 50 # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice # ChordMiddle EndSection
