Ok, I got it. Thought you 'only' planed to improve your existing cutemouse development. >> I have a logitech mx518 optical mouse with the >> main features two buttons and one wheel. > > Those will be supported by ctmouse 2.1beta4 already, > please try that first... Yes, it was working also already in past versions. >> Plus a lot extra buttons I am not using that much on Windows. >> www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/187&cl=us,en Little mistake, I wanted to write I am NOT using that much on Windows. > Wow 8 buttons: Forward, Back, Scrollup, Scrolldown, Menu > plus 3 usual buttons ;-). And 1800/800/400dpi resolution. Yes, at some point in past I got bugged by a inaccurate mouse resulting in a little overreaction (purchasing the best mouse and mouse pad at this time. :)). >> Can't imagine how these other buttons could become >> useful for me in DOS as there is no much application >> development.

Don't know. My fantasia about this is very limited. > How > many wheels and buttons does that cordless mouse have? The really used ones is just two button and one wheel.

But in fact my BIOS has no feature for USB to PS2 emulation. I think this might be because there is still a PS2 port on my board. You said once only in case there are no more real ps2 ports on a board the BIOS may be forced to provide this feature - I haven't verified this, but it sounds very logical and probabilistic. -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
