|
|
This may or may not be the correct forum for this, but how do i configure a 3 button mouse with wheel? I had problems with this on my old SuSE system, but that had Sax2 to help. Im guessing i need to add some kernel modules?
Also, where can i download some fonts? I was particularly fond of my courier new font on SuSE:( _________________ Regards,

3 button mouse, add this under your mouse option in xorg.conf
Code: | Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |
you can also add
Code: | Option "Resolution" "<dpi of mouse>" |

b_zed_image,
You configure your mouse two places.
The console mouse id configured in /etc/gpm/ the files are well commented.
The X server mouse is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If Code: | nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf | is overwhelming, trywhich is a graphical configuration utility for X. _________________ Regards,

You probably mean the mouse in X, not on the console, right? If so, put something like this in your xorg.conf
Code: | # Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
