I think there should also be an example for a generic 2-button mouse and
maybe not reference XF86Config since anyone referring to this would
probably be using stable woody and XFree86 4.
Something like the following might be easier for a newbie to
understand. Note that I have never used a Logitech 3-button mouse so
I'm not certain that section is correct.
To get the mouse to work properly in both console and X, configure the
following files.
For a generic 2-button PS/2 mouse or trackball
/etc/gpm.conf /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
==================== ====================================
device=/dev/psaux Section "InputDevice"
responsiveness= Identifier "Mouse0"
repeat_type=raw Driver "mouse"
type=autops2 Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
append="" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "CorePointer
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
For a Logitech 3-button PS2 mouse
/etc/gpm.conf /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
==================== ====================================
device=/dev/psaux Section "InputDevice"
responsiveness= Identifier "Mouse0"
repeat_type=ms3 (or raw) Driver "mouse"
type=autops2 Option "Protocol" "Intellimouse"
append="" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "CorePointer
