Re: Microsoft Wheel Mouse

[Zac Epkes <overid3@home.com>]

I have the MS optical Wheel mouse and i used imps/2 for the protocol... i 
dont know for sure but i dont see it in mine... try commenting out the Option 
Buttons 5.... if u have the 5 button mouse then i dont know what to do for 
the extra buttons but here is what i have and it works fine

Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
    Identifier	"MS Optical"
    Driver		"mouse"
    Option	"Protocol"	"imps/2"
    Option	"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
#    Option	"Emulate3Buttons"
     Option	"ClearDTR"
     Option	"ClearRTS"
     Option	"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
EndSection

Hope this helps
