Re: [LUG] XFree 4's 3 button emulation

I've been trying to use the generic 2 button PS/2 driver.

If you're using the same could you chuck me your pointer definition from 
your XF86Config-4

Okay, part two (if you're stil having problems). From home, a RH7.2 system,
my XFConfig file shows:

# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol    "PS/2"
   Device      "/dev/psaux"

#    For wheel support - can not be used with Emulate3Buttons
#
#    ZAxisMapping 4 5

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
#    Protocol   "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice
#    BaudRate   9600
#    SampleRate 150

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
   Emulate3Buttons
   Emulate3Timeout    50

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
#    ChordMiddle

EndSection

------------------------------

Confusingly I also have an XFConfig-4 file, which has:

Section "ServerLayout"
       Identifier     "Anaconda Configured"
       Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
       InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
       InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

...

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "Mouse0"
       Driver      "mouse"
       Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
       Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
       Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
       Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Hope it helps,

John.
