Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[2]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse[2]" "SendCoreEvents" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Have fun, Schlomo PS: X 4.0.3 PPS: SuSE's SaX2 utility lets you configure this kind of stuff !
