I have a 3-button Artec brand mouse which I bought a few months ago. Running 2.2.2R. XF86config with Protocol "mouseman" works fine, but the middle button has never worked. I've used "emulate3buttons" with success, but I hate hitting the two outside buttons together. Now, I'd like to run moused(8) and use /dev/sysmouse. However, in contrast to the man page, moused rejects -i all, and -3. With -t mouseman, on syscons, the mouse tracks well, but pasting is impossible. The right mouse button doesn't extend the highlighted field, but rather pastes one or two characters from the selected field. Pressing both outside buttons causes unpredictable behavior, mostly resetting the selected area and simultaneously pasting odd bits. I can't get response from the middle button at all, except when I run the DOS install which has a mouse demo and shows all three (warning that Windows doesn't know about the middle). And, nothing works in XF86Config. Protocol sysmouse is unknown, and mousman causes the mouse pointer to dither in the upper left corner. At least, without moused, I can use Protocol mouseman + Emulate3Buttons. Is there any info on the Artec mouse? Or do I just pitch it and buy another?
