37 | <title>Mice</title>
|
---|
38 | <para>Multi-button mice can be used to their full potential by mapping the
|
---|
39 | additional buttons to X button events. Wheel mice are a common example. The
|
---|
40 | ordinary ones contain two buttons, and a scroll wheel that doubles as
|
---|
41 | a third button. As far as <application>X</application> is concerned, there
|
---|
42 | are 5 buttons as it counts the 'scroll up' and 'scroll down' functions
|
---|
43 | (internally they are buttons). Here is an example 'InputDevice' section for
|
---|
44 | a typical PS/2 wheel mouse:</para>

---|

|

54 |
|
---|
55 | <para>Button assignments differ for every mouse type. On more exotic mice,
|
---|
56 | you may find that the rocker wheel buttons are 6 and 7. Simply add those
|
---|
57 | values to the <parameter>ZAxisMapping</parameter> option, and set the
|
---|
58 | <parameter>Buttons</parameter> option appropriately to enable side to
|
---|
59 | side scrolling. Additional information on button assignment can be found in
