I have a 3 button serial mouse and the mouse is capable of emulating a
Microsoft or Mousesystems mouse (there's a little switch underneath).
In Microsoft mode only two buttons are recognised. In Mousesystems mode
you can use three....
So, check which type of mouse your mouse is compatible with. If it can
do several choose one that uses three buttons and set up accordingly
in Xconfig.
Good luck, Mark.
