My applogies, I sent the wrong version of XF86Config (I have several as
I tried to get the most out of the display _and_ get the wheel working).
The pointer section that matches the mouse trial is below. Note that
this is the XFree version 3 since version 4 (and xorg) doesn't work
properly with my S3 video.
As I understand it from the man pages, wsmouse abstracts USB/ps2/ and
intellimouse but _not_ ImPS/2. So the question is: can I get wsmouse to
pass the data raw (and not abstract anything) or ignore the mouse
altogehter and get a /dev/ entry to point X at? With all the various
boxes I've used this mouse, I had to tell X to use protocol IMPS/2.
I tried with and without the "Buttons" line but the XFConfig man page
says that the buttons used for ZAxisMapping have to be taken into
consideration. The mouse has 4 real buttons plus the wheel that acts
like a middle button, plus the wheel rolling events (one "button" for
each direction).
Thanks,
Doug.
