|
<P>If you don't have any switches, and no instructions, then a little bit of
|
|
experimentation is needed.
|
|
The first thing to try is to assume the mouse maker is telling the truth,
|
|
and the mouse is full Microsoft. Set up your Xconfigs to expect a Microsoft
|
|
mouse (see the
|
|
<A HREF="#config">Xconfig section</A>) and give it a try.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>If the mouse didn't work at all, then you don't have a Microsoft mouse, or
|
|
there is some other problem. Try the other protocols in the configs, the
|
|
man page for the config file is the best place to start looking. Also look
|
|
in the
|
|
<A HREF="#misc">Miscellaneous Problems</A> section below.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>What you will probably find is that when you run X, the mouse works fine but
|
|
only the outer two buttons do anything. You can of course accept this,
|
|
and emulate the third button (press both buttons at once to click the
|
|
middle one) like you do with a two button mouse. To do this, change your
|
|
Xconfig file as shown in the
|
|
<A HREF="#config">Xconfig example</A>
|
|
section below. This may mean you
|
|
have bought a 3 button mouse for no good reason, and you are certainly
|
|
no further forward. So, now you need to look at your hardware.
