Thanks for the pointers, Tom!  I wasn't sure how to modify my
xorg.conf.  That mouse entry I pasted is probably from many years ago,
the last time I had to do something like this.

Which reminds me....  Is there any "proper", GUI way to change these
kinds of settings?  I vaguely recall there being a system-config-mouse
program once upon a time.  Did that go away?  Was its functionality
somehow absorbed into xorg itself?  Just curious, I certainly have no
fear of firing up vi!

Thanks again,
reid
