Re: MacAlly 2-button ADB mouse?

[mformica2 <mformica2@mac.com>]

I finally at long last got gpm working in terminal using 'gpm -m
/dev/adbmouse -t bm -Rmsc' - and setting XF86Config to use the MouseSystems
protocol.  I tried PS/2 (with the appropriate protocol in the XF86Config
file), but that didn't work at all in terminal or X.  I do repeat things
into /dev/gpmdata, and I have /dev/mouse pointing there as well.  The
problem is this:  I'm still not getting the 2nd mouse button on my MacAlly
2-button mouse.  gpm is working because I have X looking there and the first
button works, but as soon as I change the -R setting gpm stops working, and
of course X doesn't like it either.  Any ideas on what's wrong?
