I have a Microsoft Trackball Optical that I'd been using with a Debian syst=
em=20
but that I want to switch to my FreeBSD workstation. The problem I'm havin=
g=20
is that it has 7 buttons:
Left
Middle (clicking the scroll wheel)
Right
Up scroll
Down scroll
Far-left button (narrow, to the left of the regular left button)
Far-right button
and moused only seems to pass the first 5 through to X. That is, it works=
=20
perfectly well like a regular scroll mouse but those wonderful extra button=
s=20
are ignored. I don't even know where to begin looking for a solution. Any=
=20
pointers?
=46or those interested, this page includes a picture of the trackball that =
may=20
make more sense than my description:
