configuring a 3 button mouse.
I recently upgraded my Mandriva install and now it appears that my 3 button mouse is emulating a 2 button mouse as cut/paste only works when I select buttons 1 and 3, but not with button 2. The middle button is a wheel and scrolling does work with it, which leads to more confusion. This has always 'just worked' so it's been a while since I tried to configure this. my xorg.conf looks right (to me): Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse Option Emulate3Buttons Option Emulate3Timeout 50 Option EmulateWheel Option EmulateWheelButton 2 EndSection Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Until later, Geoffrey I predict future happiness for America if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. - Thomas Jefferson ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
