I then commented out the Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" line. I logged out and back in with no effect. I ran system-config-mouse and selected the 2 button mouse again. I rebooted, but still the middle button works (as does the wheel). I commented out the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" line and rebooted, and finally had a 2 button mouse. Unfortunately, the buttons were left and middle. No right button. I've since put everything back and I'm back where I started. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
