Re: mouse middle button not working in X

["Jeremiah H. Savage" <jeremiahsavage@abac.com>]

When I was using a ps/2 mouse, I got the middle buttom to work by
changing the Device in the "Pointer" Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config from
Device
"/dev/psaux" <-- yours might have something else
to
Device
"/dev/gpmdata"
