Microsoft Intellimouse Configuration?
 

Hello,

I am just wondering if there is some sort of control program or a way to configure the 5 buttons on a USB Intellimouse Explorer. The scroll wheel works, and the middle button pastes, I was just wondering if there is some way to configure the other buttons to perform tasks as well.

Thanks,
Danny

I'd be interested to know how you got the scroll wheel to work.. I can't even get that.

Try adding the following lines to the pointer section of your XF86Config file. It is located in /etc/X11 :

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/usbmouse"
Buttons "5"
ZAxisMapping 4 5

Your mouse may or may not be in /dev/usbmouse, as mine is a usb version. If it is a serial mouse, you will probably have to change the Protocol to "PS/2" and the Device path to your mouse. Hope this helps,

Danny
