Re: Mouse configuration

I had a Woody upgraded to Sarge Debian system running for some time.
Had my Logitech mouse as a PS/2 and did not have the wheel mouse
functionality.
Due to a bad decision on my part I got my system into a position where
I could not get some package modules to load up and get configured
(kept getting an error relating to ldconfig). Anyway I backed up my
data that I wanted to keep and went for a clean install (I know M$
method but it was faster).
Well when I reloaded I made a very POOR decision and chose a wheel
mouse type for my mouse instead of the PS/2. I figured a mouse is a
mouse. Anyway when the system came up with the GUI my mouse goes
haywire. Mouse clicks close windows. Moving the mouse selects
windows, closes windows. Its crazy.
Anyway I worked through the issues to upgrade my kernel from 2.2.20 to
2.4.27. In the configuration I selected PS2 mouse support. The
upgrade went well but no change in the mouse actions?
I've goggled till my fingers hurt. Is there a way to change the mouse
configuration?
Don
Ctrl-Alt-F1
then "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" as root. Select the correct
mouse settings. Restart X.
(This makes a lot of assumptions; you're not running gpm, you're running
XFree86 rather than X.org; you've not manually tinkered with the
XF86Config-4 file, etc etc etc)
