>Description:
if one has two mice connected and one cannot set the superset
of the options needed to make both mice happy.
In a sony vaio 505tx (and most losing PC's) on has only a two
button mouse. One needs to set emulate3button in the mouse section
of the xvga server config in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
If one suppliments that built-in mouse by occationally plugging in
an external USB wheel mouse and one wants to use the wheel
one needs to set ZAxisMapping also.
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Wsmouse"
Device "/dev/wsmouse"
BaudRate 1200
Emulate3Timeout 50
Emulate3Buttons
Buttons 5
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
In this mode the wheel generates button-1 and button-3 events, not
button-4 and button-5 events as expected. Commenting out the
two Emulate3button lines fixes things for the wheel mouse at
the expense of breaking the internal mouse's button-2
emulation.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
find the Emulate3Buttons code and teach it to keep its paws
off of bits that don't concern it. (I'll follow up with a patch
if/when I find this code.)
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
>how-To-Repeat:
plug in a USB wheel mouse (such as the logitech) and add
Emulate3Buttons to the mouse section. One should see the
button-4 and button-5 events get mapped to button-1 and button-3.
