Hi Chuck I had a bunch of simlar issues the last time I tried until I remembered that to get it to work I did "-D" as a flag on the mousesystems drive. It sends a "Clear to Send"? or some such which tells the mouse to behave in my rc.conf I have moused_enable="YES" moused_type="mousesystems" moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" moused_flags="-D" hope this helps Kit On Fri, Jan 08, 1999 at 07:05:36PM -0500, Chuck wrote: > I have a 3-button Artec brand mouse which I bought a few months ago. > Running 2.2.2R. > > XF86config with Protocol "mouseman" works fine, but the middle button > has never worked.
