inside a command console issue:
$xev
Place your cursor inside the square that appears and hold your mouse still with the other hand to ensure no activity. The print out within the console will stop ticking over when all is ready.
Now operate one of the 'no go' buttons.
Did that generate a readout? If so then keep looking for ways to get it working 'cause your system sees them.
Try google for 'keymapping' is just yet another suggestion.
Keep us informed as to your successes.

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

Hello, my name is Brian and I am a Linux newbie. ;-)
I just installed Mandrake 10 Official via an FTP install on Saturday, which took approximately 4.5 hours to complete. My system is a dual boot with XP Professional.
I have an intellimouse optical mouse connected via ps/2 (via kvm switch), and am confused as to how to configure it so the scroll wheel and two side buttons work correctly. I googled and found several different ways to go about setting it up, all of them different and none 100% guaranteed.
Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to configure it? It works perfectly under windows (wheel scrolls, two side buttons go
back and forward when browsing).
Thanks!!!
Brian
I would tend to reckon that a Microsoft Intellimouse is going to work with Microsoft Windows(whatever fsck'ed up version). It's not obvious?
Meanwhile, there are many many "hacks" to get all the buttons working - none of them easy, none of them for the feint of heart.
Don't expect to get it working the same way as in Windows, mate.
Be happy that you can get the left and right and scroll bits working.
