Re: Mouse problems

I recommand putting your mouse into a deep fried pan, then set the
temperature to 450%, that should fix your problem.

Let me apologize in advance if this is the wrong group...

I have a couple of machines running fc5 and a couple of machines running
billy-bob-ware, all sharing keyboard/mouse/video via a 4 port IOGear KVM.
keyboard and mouse are all PS2.

Almost everything works... I have a mechanical (ie with ball) 3 button
logitech wheel mouse. I want to switch to an optical mouse. First tried
a MS 5 button mouse and it worked fine with the windows boxes but didn't
work terribly well with the FC5 boxes (rolling the wheel "up" acted as if
I had right clicked). Read on the net that MS mice didn't work well with
FC5, so I took it back and got a logitech 3 button optical.

If I boot with the mechanical mouse, then unplug it and plug in the
optical, the optical works fine. If I boot with the optical mouse, I get
the same "scroll up" equals "right click" behavior. Again, the mouse
works properly with windows, fails with both (essentially identical) fc5
boxes.

The sections of my xorg.conf file that deals with the mouse looks like

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Any thoughts?
