I wanted to replace my old Addison trackballs with new ones, because their action was getting quite jerky. I insist on getting a track ball with this geometry: /------------------+---+---+---\ | | | | | | | | | | | --- +---+---+---| | ( ) | | ___ | | | \------------------------------/ Excuse my miserable graphics, but that's the best I can produce. Anyhow, I wasn't willing to pay $90 each for Logitech models, but I found some no-name models that claimed Microsoft compatibility and ran $20 each. My problem is that, un XFree86, the middle mouse button won't work. I've tried all the obvious combinations I could define from the XConfig file, but I still couldn't get it to work. I would really like some help. Of course, if someone said "RTFM, you fool" and included a reference to the FM, I would be even happier. Even if it meant buying a book. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
