My XF86Config-4 section looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Then I did some fiddling with the button mapping via xmodmap: pointer = 1 6 3 4 5 2 7 8 This places the "middle" mouse button for pasting on the left thumb button which is IMO better than the wheel button. > I also used the PS/2 convertor that's supplied with > the mouse. Nothing worked. For this, you need INPUT_MOUSE, MOUSE_PS2 and probably SERIO_SERPORT which tended to do some funny stuff if not enabled, at least in the early 2.6 revisions. Another possibility would be that your mouse is just broken. -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de
