Since my mouse is a logitech 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel i was thinking
this should be my config
in my XF86Config. i will comment all the entries for moused in my rc.conf.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "Buttons" "4"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "3 4"
EndSection
does this seem correct?
Brian
