Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless Mice
Surely it's handled at a hardware level, and treated as a normal mouse? Gentoo shouldn't even need to know it's wireless. Ross.

I use a logitech wireless, and yes..

It was one of the ones with the button on either side of the mouse in addition to the normal 2 buttons and a scrolling wheel. I don't use it anymore because I couldn't get the scrolling wheel to work in X. I ended up giving it to my fiance to use on her Windows machine :) -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That's what I would hope but I wanted some feedback before I tried it. On Wednesday 17 September 2003 08:42, you wrote: Surely it's handled at a hardware level, and treated as a normal mouse?

Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless Mice
Excellent. I'll see how the MS mouse does on a Gentoo system. On Wednesday 17 September 2003 09:01, you wrote: I use a logitech wireless, and yes..
