It is a 3-button mouse. The wheel can be depressed, thus it has a middle button. It works perfectly fine as a three button mouse in X because it is one. Plus, the Microsoft Intellimouse is one of the options in the config program.
On top of all of that, the name of the program is redhat-config-mouse. I prefer the much shorter name for it (also the only name it used to have), mouseconfig.
However, since you brought it up, switching to the two-button mouse configuration did not make a difference. However, switching to the two-button configuration, then switching to Generic Wheel Mouse did work. I then switched it back to the Intellimouse setting (which I think is the same thing, but oh well), and it continued to work. So I guess thanks making the mistake that helped me make things right again.

sounds like you selected 3 button mouse when you only had a 2 button mouse.
system-config-mouse is your friend. use the tab key to move around.

Hi List,
I am having problems with using my mouse in text mode. It works fine in XFree86. But in text mode, every time that the mouse is moved, it's drawn like a magnet to the top right corner, and acts as if I'm clicking buttons repeatedly (basically the same as if there is an intermittent break in the mouse cord). If I leave the mouse alone, it doesn't interfere. Then again, it doesn't help either.
I have Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.2A.
Does anybody have any ideas on this? If not, I'm going to commit it as a bug.
Thanks, William
