I have two mouse questions.
My Logitech cordless ps2 ball mouse died so I went to Best Buy and bought
a uSoft Cordless Optical USB Intellimouse with two thumb buttons.
I could not for the life of me find out what program is run at
install-time to figure out what kind of mouse I have. I was able to run
redhat-configure-mouse which set up gdm correctly. I ended up with
/etc/sysconfig/mouse set up as:
FULLNAME="Microsoft - IntelliMouse (USB)"
MOUSETYPE="ps/2"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
DEVICE=/dev/input/mice
But I couldn't find a program to set up my XF86Config file. Luckily a
friend was able to google up a recipe for me that worked. I ended up doing
this (which seems to work so far):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Microsoft IntelliMouse USB"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
Now I can tell you my two questions.
1. Is there a more correct answer for my XF86Config than what I have?
2. What is the program that I can run that would do this for me in the
first place?
Thanks.
