 |
|
Hi! I have noticed today that I have two buttons in my mouse that I haven't configured yet in my X system. Now, I have this in /etc/X11/XF86Config:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
|
And that is nice for me. I can use the wheel that is, in the same time, a third button. But there are two more buttons on the laterals of the mouse. I suppose that they are for browser the world wide web, in order to go to the next page or to the page before. Could it be? Could I configure my XF86Config to can use it?
Another question: What is the differenc of a PS/2 mouse and a IMPS/2 mouse? Is the connector the same for both? How can I know what is my kind of mouse? In gpm.conf, I use P2/2, in X I use IMPS/2...  .
My English is poor, sorry.

the difference between imps/2 and ps/2 is only the protocol. and for the kind of your mouse .. hmm searching for a list or trying out 
ah .. your two side-buttons will work by using imwheel.
so i added:
option "buttons" "7"
option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
to XF86Config.
emerged imwheel and edited /etc/imwheelrc |

Your English is pretty good - way better than my Spanish.
We've been discussing this in Documentation & Tips, at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=98028 - there's plenty of information there. |
