emacs. The one true configurating tool.

Here's my mouse config (Intellimouse on PS/2)

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"

# The mouse protocol and device.  The device is normally set to
/dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

    Option      "Protocol"      "IMPS/2"
# For FreeBSD(98)-2.X
#    Option     "Device"        "/dev/mse0"
# For NetBSD/pc98 (based on NetBSD 1.1 or later)
#    Option     "Device"        "/dev/lms0"
# For NetBSD/pc98 (based on NetBSD 1.0)
#    Option     "Device"        "/dev/mms0"
# For Linux/98
#    Option     "Device"        "/dev/mouse"
# For Linux/devfs
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/psaux"

# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris), use
# the following instead of any of the lines above.  The Device line
# is not required in this case.

#    Option     "Protocol"      "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some older Logitech mice.  In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option     "BaudRate"      "9600"
#    Option     "SampleRate"    "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
#    Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option     "Emulate3Timeout"       "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice, or any
# 3-button mouse where the middle button generates left+right button
# events.

#    Option     "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

If that's any help?

(Make sure the "Device" option is set correctly, and turn off gpm. It's
useless, so that's no big deal)
