Hi,

You didn't tell us, which X you use and on which OS and if your mouse has two
or three buttons. And it seems that attachments can't pass the mailinglist.
I have a PS/2 mouse with two buttons and the important sections inXF86Config-4
(for XFree 4) look this way:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
#Section "InputDevice"
#       Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
#       Driver          "mouse"
#       Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
#       Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
#       Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
#       Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
#EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
#       InputDevice     "Generic Mouse"
EndSection

Like you can see, the "Generic Mouse" is commented out and the server is forced
to use the "Configured Mouse".

Hope my "hint" doesn't make anyone of the "staff" here angry because I'm
relatively new to X.
