Hey Mr. T.
Sure. Simple. Different, but simple. And a couple of ways too.
1. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
this will walk you thru a dialog (via dpkg) to reconfigure
(rewite XF86Config-4) the xserver.
if you're NOT running the xserver-xfree86, I need to ask why/why not
2. vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and find the lines concerning your mouse and
correct them.
[snip'd from my XF86Config-4 for my USB intelli mouse)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
If you're unsure of what device/mouse type, send me a private mail and
we'll
get you squared away.
3. xf86cfg which I haven't truely played with (GUI) but is praported to
werk well.
4. xf86config which is the good old trusty standby for all of us older
(give me TEXT) users. :--)
Well, hope this helps!
p.s. Hello Mrs. T. (seeing how this IS on YOUR account.)
