Mouse? (fwd)



Hello everybody,

I think I have to clarify the question I have.

I have 2 mice which I tried....

One is 3-button Microsoft mouse. I use ms option in gpm. It works ALL
RIGHT in text mode: all three buttons. Under X-windows left and right
buttons are O.K., but middle one does not work at all. I tryed to emulate
the third button, but it does not work either.......

I decided to try my old Logitech mouse which I use on my 386 computer
under Linux as well. It is O.K there.... in text mode and X-windows, all 3
buttons. When I connect it to my Pentium (the computer in question) and
give gpm -t logi -m /dev/ttyS0 command it never returns to the shell's
prompt unless I press Ctrl-C.. 

If somebody could suggest anything regarding either of these mice, I would
be very thankful,

ZORO
------------------------------------------
Here is the original message I sent earlier....

Unfortunately I have got this question about mice...

I have a 3-button Microsoft mouse and it works fine in text mode. But I
could not get it to work under X-windows. Left and Right buttons seem to
be O.K., but middle one..... I can not even simulate it using other two.

To resolve the problem (I know some mice are crazy) I tryed to change
mouse to a different one, to logi. I know it works on Linux (it was
checked on a different Linux machine), but when I run 

gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t logi
         (dev ^^^ name is correct)
I never get my prompt back... I have to Ctrl-C. I tried different
baud rates using -b option, nothing helps.
