3 button mouse drivers

Post by I.R. Furlong » Wed, 30 Nov 1994 00:39:01



Has anyone found a good utility for slackware linux to switch between 3
button Mousesystems mode and 2 button Microsoft mode?

My mouse doesn't have a hardware toggle for switching between the two,
and the little proggie I use is very temperamental...

Thanks

I assume you're talking about X, right?  Investigate the Xconfig man
page with reference to the mouse options cleardtr and clearrts.  

Quote:
'This option clears the DTR line on the serial port
'used by the mouse.  This option is only valid  for
'a  mouse  using  the  mousesystems protocol.  Some
'dual-protocol mice require DTR to  be  cleared  to
'operate  in  mousesystems mode.

(& similar for clearrts).  I guess this is probably what the dos
driver does to switch modes.
