Some mice have a switch on the underside where you can switch between Microsoft mode (2 button) and Mouse Systems mode (3 button). Some mice do not have the switch because they assume that you will be using it under Windows with their driver. If it does not have a switch then I think you might be out of luck with it unless the moused code can be changed to accommodate it, assuming it is working, which you do not know of course. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@nola.srrc.usda.gov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
