using wheel mouse to read info with emacs?


When I read info with emacs, emacs tells me to click mouse-2 button to go to node. I click the right button of my wheel mouse, no effect! I click the wheel, it works. How can I use right mouse button instead of the wheel?

My guess is you have your XF86Config file set up for the wrong mouse. Mind posting your mouse section so I can have a looksie and divulge what kinda mouse you have?

Okay, my guess is you don't have the correct mouse set up. Currently you have an Intellimouse PS/2 mouse set up denoted by the Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2", part of your XF86Config. Mine has a listing of mouses to use, they are as follows:
# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
If your mouse is one of the above, try changing the IMPS/2 to whatever that would be. If you aren't sure, try PS/2. I had trouble getting my mouse scrollwheel working, and although I have a generic Sony PS/2 mouse, I had to use the MouseManPlusPS/2 mouse, to get the wheel working. So tinker around with it a bit. Remember, you have to restart X before the changes take affect (Logging out, or CTRL+ALT+Backspace and then logging back in 'startx').
