Has anyone gotten a Microsoft USB Optical IntelliMouse to work? Again, I'm
using Mandrake 7.1...
I am currently using the mouse as a PS/2 mouse (with an adaptor). The two
side buttons don't work of course, and wheel-up / wheel-down do the same
things as the left and right buttons, respectively. If I can't get the side
buttons programmed, that's not too big a deal, though it would be nice to
get them working. (I remember reading an article online about configuring a
"7-button" mouse (the wheel being three buttons instead of a button and an
axis), but I couldn't really understand it. I also don't know the path of
the file I am supposed to edit - I might not have know even the filename.)
However, I'd like to get the wheel working properly (I use Enlightenment
0.16.5, and in E the wheel is supposed to switch between desktops). I'm
also wondering if there's any advantage to using the mouse as USB instead of
PS/2 (aside from not needing an adaptor) (the mouse stopped working when I
plugged it into the USB port and selected "USB Mouse (3 or more buttons)" in
MouseDrake). Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
