Re: [newbie] Mouse Question - MS Intellimouse Explorer (USB)
Russell Which generic driver did you select? I'm having problems getting my first-time Linux install to recognise my MS I.E. mouse at all, so any advice would be appreciated!

[newbie] Mouse Question - MS Intellimouse Explorer (USB)
Folks, Before I download and install this puppy, I'm looking for information on if the MS Intellimouse Explorer (USB) mouse is supported in any way. I know that the site says 'all mice', but I wan't to be sure that this particular mouse will have at lease some functionallity. Thanks. _ Grasshopper _
Re: [newbie] Mouse Question - MS Intellimouse Explorer (USB)
It works with the PS/2 port, because that's what mouse I use. But someone else just today mailed something about his USB intellimouse explorer not being recognized. But as of yet, no one knows why. It should recognize USB mice, but for some reason his isn't found. But if you use the PS/2 port, it will definitly work. So you might try it with USB first, to see if it works for you. Oh, it won't TOTALLY work, as the two side buttons do nothing in Linux, but the two top ones, and the wheel all work.

aparently from what i read usb support is still in the alpha stages so that could why it doesn't work in usb mode On Sat, 18 Mar 2000, you wrote: It works with the PS/2 port, because that's what mouse I use.

Re: [newbie] mouse question
First, I like double clicking to launch stuff but it seems that Mandrake 7 defaults to a single click to lanuch apps. Could someone tell me how to change that so I have to double click to launch apps. no idea, but it might help some other people if you say what Window manager you are using (Gnome/KDE/etc) Second, I have a microsoft intellimouse and the scroll wheel doesn't work any ideas on how to enable that in Mandrake? It should work pretty much automatically in Mandrake. Make sure you have imwheel installed though. http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ has lots of information on scrolling, and has imwheel should you need it. tia, Charles Ulwelling -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Press any key to continue and any other key to quit
