- Does anyone have any information on 3 button mice under Linux? I have a 3
- button 'Alien' mouse that supports MicroSoft and PC (has a switch on the
- mouse's belly). However, I can't find anything to check if the middle
- button works. When I run the 'mouse' utility in /usr/X386/lib/X11/tst/mouse
- withe the MS option only 2 buttons work. Are there generic Linux or DOS
- testing programs to see if my mouse's middle button even works?
-
- I looked through the X, XFree86 and Linux FAQ lists. Perhaps the answer to
- this should be added!

- thanks,
- michael
