Mouse ?
 

I have an M$ IntelliMouse, two buttons, scroll wheel, wheel also cats as a third button. Question is I would like to make the third button act like a double click, can this be done? If so how?

Running Slackware 9 with Gnome 2.2

That should do it. I've seen others who have had to add the following:

Option "Buttons" "5"

nuzzy, thanks for the reply. The scroll wheel works for scrolling. The wheel is also a button, and I would like the button aspect of the wheel to function as a double click.

hmm...are you sure you still can't? I have those settings and can use my wheel to double-click. Can you post your mouse info from XF86Config?

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Hi ceh383,

I'm not sure if this matters, but change the "b" in "buttons" to a "B". Im not sure if it's case sensitive. Also, look at your /var/log/Xfree86.0.log. That will tell you what options are loading for your mouse.

Well, I changed the "B" made no difference.

Here is everything that looked like it might have anything to do with the mouse from the /var/log/XFree86.0.log.....

I notice the line that says "Mouse1: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50"

I don't have the option to emulate 3 buttons in the XF86Config file. Could this be the prblem?

when i add and press the wheel
on an icon in koqueror it opens the directory in a
new window

I have.....

Option "Buttons" "5"

in the XF86Conf file, wheel button acts like a single click. Any thoughts on how to change it?

It looks like you have Emulate 3 Button mouse enabled.

You don't want to 'emulate' that. Emulating 3 button requires you to hit the left and right button simultaneously to 'emulate' the third button.

You don't need to 'emulate' because you have a real middle button.

Hope that helps. I could be wrong.

edit: oh, I see that 'ceh383' mentioned that also.
edit2: earth to me, earth to me... I see that ceh383 is the original poster, so, yes, the Emulate 3 Button thing could be the problem.
:D

Other than the XF86Config file, where could the Option "Emulate3buttons" be comming from?
Here's the entire XF86Config file....

As you can see the option is not loaded from here, yet is shows it's being loaded in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file....

(**) Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
(**) Mouse1: Protocol: "IMPS/2"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Mouse1: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
(**) Option "Buttons" "5"
(**) Mouse1: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Mouse1: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse1: Buttons: 5

and it looks like it's being loaded from a config file.

I'm confused.......

it loads the button 5 two times i dunno if this has anything to say

Try adding:

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"

to your config and see what happens.

The "Emulate3Buttons" is no longer loaded, still no double click.

Thanks for all the input......I guess I'll just have to live with it......
