From doing research to get the wheel working, I read in a few places that XFree86 3.3.6 only supported 5 buttons in the protocol, so the extra-buttons, 6 and 7, won't work. Not sure if it's true, but hey. I'm upgraded to XFree86-4, without a hitch (Hm; I think i'm gonna stop asking questions about now), and theoretically it supports more buttons... but the only place that I saw that had instructions told me to use a protocol of 'ExplorerPS/2', which tells me that the O/S doesn't support it.. Em... With 'auto' it finds the wheel, and maybe the extra buttons, dunno, havn't tried yet :) --S "Brandon Fosdick" wrote: > Subject: Re: IntelliMouse Explorer extra mouse buttons recognized? > Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 13:04:03 -0400 > From: Brandon Fosdick <bfoz@glue.umd.edu> > To: Markus Holmberg <markush@acc.umu.se> > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > > Markus Holmberg wrote: > > > > Has anyone successfully had the two extra buttons on the IntelliMouse > > Explorer recognized (in FreeBSD+XFree86)? > > Not I, but please let me know if you find anything. > > -Brandon > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
