I got impatient. Since the Mandrake 8.1 upgrade trashed my entire 8.0
install (including my VMWare :( ), I retaliated and am now running RH7.2 on
it. For the sake of google searches, here are the relevant lines:
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/input/mice"
# 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
All the functions on the mouse work. What I don't understand -- that is
what I had changed the lines to and they didn't work??? Oh well.
Thanks,

|If i remember properly, you had a USB mouse correct? /dev/mouse should be
|a link to the mouse device, for me it links to /dev/input/mice have you
|tried that?
|
|if not /dev/input/mice, you can always try the 30 or so other mouse
|devices.
