Curious. At the time this configuration was done I was probably running 5.3 and X might still have been XFree86. The same config is working now with 5.4 and Xorg. > xorg.conf sections-- > Section "InputDevice" > > # Identifier and driver > > Identifier "Mouse1" > Driver "mouse" > Option "Protocol" "auto" > Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" > > Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" > Option "Buttons" "5" > > EndSection > Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "8 9" # Had to put this in because default is true!?!?

I don't understand why it describes it as 7 buttons. There are the 'left' and 'right' buttons, two thumb buttons, two adjacent to the mouse-wheel, plus another button on top behind the wheel, so that's 7 buttons. But then there's the wheel button itself which is the "third" or "middle" button, so surely there are 8 buttons on this mouse, plus the "Z dir" of the wheel. Curious. Wayne
