I am still having problems understanding this. It seems XF86Config needs to be manually edited. I have a three button mouse by MicroInnovations model PD400W which has three buttons and two wheels. The first wheel doubles as the middle button? In windows and in winblows the first wheel is verticle scrolling and the second wheel is horizontal scrolling. Does anyone have one of these working fully? CWSIV expatriate <lbox@nellgc.plus.com> writes:

Hello

Two hours of Google and Linux websites and I can't find the answer.

My wife has RSI and would like to use one of the buttons on her mouse for doubleclick. Here is how her XF86Config looks:

Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection

After running

xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 6 7 4 5" ! note left-hand mouse

Everything works OK except that the side buttons behave as buttons 1 and 2 (as reported by xev). Just like a three-button wheel mouse. Can the side buttons be differentiated? Is it possible to assign a doubleclick to one of them? Is it possible to assign a drag lock to the other one?
