It should work, more or less, if it's USB (I'm guessing that this mouse was advertised for a PC?). The right button usually works even w/o drivers. In X and 9.2.2 my wife is using a Logitech optical mouse on her iBook and even though there are no drivers for it, the right button works fine. The only difference between her mouse and my MS Optical Scroll Mouse is that I have the extra software which allows me to configure the buttons to do other things. I still don't know why Apple won't put out a 2-button mouse as the standard mouse on all their Macs -- that right button sure saves time! -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
