I just connected a "Creative Notebook Optical" mouse to my FC3 system. Works fine, mostly, but it looks like middle-button clicks aren't registered. Any ideas why?




xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier  "Mouse0"
      Driver      "mouse"
      Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
      Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
      Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"  <-----
      Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" <-----
EndSection




Yes, when using those I do get middle-click *emulation*. - Actually, I thought I tried that earlier and that it didn't work, but apparently system-config-mouse didn't update xorg.conf...

I'd still prefer the real thing, though. I mean, it seems to me that a switch is activated if I press down the scroll wheel, but X doesn't seem to understand the signal (presumably) being sent.

If you are using a mouse with 3 buttons, you don't need the
'emulate3buttons' option in xorg.cfg. Remove it.. It's there for people
who have two button mice, where you press both buttons to simulate the
middle button, hence giving you 3 buttons.


I think you missed the point here.

The mouse has 3 buttons, but X or the console mouse service on a Fedora Core 3 setup doesn't understand that it does; nothing happens if I press the middle button.
