Peace!

My mouse is detected as a 2 buttons serial mouse. I am used to this detection even under Mandrake (I use FedoraCore2 (Home)) but Mandrake can make it and know that it is a three buttons mouse not two. In FedoraCore2 it is a 2 buttons mouse (it detects it as a 2 buttons mouse) not three as is the case. In RH 9,0 I used to make the correction and tell the computer it is a 3 buttons mouse. Now in FedoraCore2 I have nothing to make the fix (to my knowledge) so what should I do to make it know it is a 3 buttons not a 2 buttons mouse. My mouse is 3 buttons serial mouse.

I dont like the emulation idea.

hey mborn, how come we never see you on irc!

anyway, the mouse section in my xorg.conf is : 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse"
                Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
                Option "Device" "/dev/misc/psaux"
                Driver "mouse"
                Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # wheel
EndSection

peace
