Driver for Fellowes Browser 2 Mouse???

kierl · 04-04-2003, 05:14 PM

Anybody know where I can find a driver for the Fellowes Browser 2 Mouse... FCC is FSUGMZFC. It works with the generic 3 button mouse driver but I want to be able to use the button on the left side and the scroll button thingy in the middle... Tried using intellimouse driver and a couple of other ones that came with RH8 but none of them worked...

Is this just a ps/2 mouse with a wheel and a side button?

not quite. it's a ps/2 mouse with a scroll button and a side button. middle button can be depressed straight down or forwards or backwards...

Thanks I'll try that when I get to work... I'll let you know how it goes.

Dangit! I read your little article thingy earlier when I was at school, but now it's telling me that there are too many connections to the MySQL database... maybe later I guess...

Ok... I got to the HOWTO... did just like it said with the XF86Config file... ran line xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" but got error that needed 3 buttons instead of 7??? do I need to be outside of X before I do this??? Right Now I'm running GNOME and just did that from within an aterm terminal...

My web host did a server upgrade and has been having some mysql problems, just wait a bit and try again if you get that error.

With regards to xmodmap, exactly how many buttons does your mouse have (not including the wheel)?

1 on the side and two on top + the middle BUTTON... I don't have a wheel... it is a button that can be pressed down or can be pushed forward or backwards like a lever... only it's a button

IC.........well, we can pretend that the middle button is a wheel, and see if it works that way.
Your mouse is a four button so you need to modify the commands on my site to relfect that, the guide was written for a five button mouse.

Ok... How???

Aussie · 04-08-2003, 06:14 PM

A five button wheel mouse+wheel = Option "Buttons" "7" (the wheel up and down are 'button events'), so a four button mouse+"wheel"=Option "Buttons" "6". Just modify the commands for a six button mouse instead of a seven button.

Hmm... I really feel dumb... I didn't even think about it... when I posted that message... I was actually talking about the line that has 1 2 3 4 6 7 4 5 in it but 4 & 5 are just the scroll buttons right? so it would just change to 1 2 3 6 4 5 ???

Yep, give it a try and if it works add a comment at the bottom of the article explaning how to do it for other people.
