Peace!

My mouse is detected as a 2 buttons serial mouse. I am used to this detection even under Mandrake (I use it at home- but Mandrake can make it and know that it is a three buttons mouse not two). In FedoraCore2 it is a 2 buttons mouse (it detects it as a 2 buttons mouse) not three as is the case. In RH 9.0 I used to make the correction and tell the computer it is a 3 buttons mouse. Now in FedoraCore2 I have nothing to make the fix (to my knowledge) so what should I do to make it know it is a 3 buttons not a 2 buttons mouse. My mouse is 3 buttons serial mouse.

I dont like the emulation idea.

What does it say in the mouse section of /etc/xorg.conf ?

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

This is the part for my mouse.

I think that for a serial mouse the input device may be /dev/ttyS1 . Also, the ZAxisMapping is to get a scrollwheel to work, so you don't need that. If you still have Red Hat 9 installed have a look at the settings that worked for that (I think it used XFree86 so the file was called /etc/X11/XF86Config). Also, man xorg.conf may give you some clues for things to try. A word of caution though before you start editing xorg.conf , make a backup copy of the original. If the settings you try don't work you may not be able to startx, you may end up working at the command prompt. If you make a copy of the xorg.conf that works and rename it xorg.confo you can fix the situation with
mv /etc/X11/xorg.confo /etc/X11/xorg.conf

shall try that, thank you
