Wheel mice are a common example. The +inexpensive ones contain two buttons, and a scroll wheel that doubles as +a third button. As far as <application>X</application> is concerned, there +are 5 buttons as it counts the 'scroll up' and 'scroll down' functions +(internally they are buttons). Here is an example 'InputDevice' section for +a typical PS/2 wheel mouse:</para> + +<para><screen>Section "InputDevice" + Identifier "Mouse 0" + Driver "mouse" + Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" + Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" + Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" + Option "Buttons" "5" +EndSection</screen></para> + +<para>Button assignments differ for every mouse type. On more exotic mice, +you may find that the rocker wheel buttons are 6 and 7. Simply add those +values to the <parameter>ZAxisMapping</parameter> option, and set the +<parameter>Buttons</parameter> option appropriately to enable side to +side scrolling. Additional information on button assignment can be found in +the following <application>XFree86</application> document:</para> +<para><ulink url="http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.html";>Mouse Support in +<application>XFree86</application></ulink></para> +</sect3> + +<sect3 id='xinput-other'> +<title>Other</title> +<para>To be added...</para> +</sect3> + +</sect2> + +<sect2> +<title>Fine tuning display settings</title> + +<sect3> +<title>The 'Monitor' section</title> +<para>To be added...</para> +</sect3> + +<sect3> +<title>The 'Device' section</title> +<para>To be added...</para> +<para><ulink url="http://www.xfree86.org/current/manindex4.html";>Devices +</ulink></para> +</sect3> +</sect2> +</sect1> + -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
