from XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "microsoft"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
# Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
## Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "ChordMiddle" "true"
# Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
*********** gpm.conf:
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
#
# If mouse response seems to be to slow, try using
# responsiveness=15. append can contain any random arguments to be
# appended to the commandline.
#
# If you edit this file by hand, please be aware it is sourced by
# /etc/init.d/gpm and thus all shell meta characters must be
# protected from evaluation (i.e. by quoting them).
#
# This file is used by /etc/init.d/gpm and can be modified by
# /usr/sbin/gpmconfig.
#
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=ps2
append=""
(Thanks for the translation, Mike. I have a dim sense of what a
repeater is, but am not sure if I'm currently using one. I think not,
given that the device is not /dev/psaux but /dev/mouse.)
