But there appears to be no support in either moused or X. Is this right? I've tried using the mouse on both the PS/2 and serial ports; I've tried moused and no moused; I've tried the "ThinkingMouse" protocol as well as "auto", all for naught. Either the mouse Just Doesn't Work (random pointer movement and no buttons), or the system just stubbornly refuses to see the other two buttons. Help! TIA, (jfb) -- To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...
