Re: Mouse and mounting problems

in your XF86Config, there will be a mouse section, in mine, I have a
microsoft mouse on /dev/ttyS0 I need the line 
from my XF86Config
...........
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

    Emulate3Buttons
    Emulate3Timeout    50

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    ChordMiddle
...............
the Emulate3Buttons is what does it for me, as you can see just below that
you may need to use ChordMiddle, for your three(??) button mouse.
Hope this points you a little closer..
