Re: Hairy Cats and mice and FreeBSD

You mean work like a scrollwheel, or as the center button
of a three button mouse? Mine works like the latter,
I have yet to have it work as a scroll wheel, even though
my /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains the very same ZAxisMapping.

This (6.1) box has a Logitech TrackMan Marble+ trackball. When
pressed, the wheel acts like a center button. When rolled, it
acts like a scrollwheel. I have turned off Xterm scrollbars,
because the wheel does the job without taking up screen space.

I had a bit of a hassle when initially setting up Xorg, because
I didn't particularly want to enable console mouse and therefore
needed to have Xorg use the mouse directly. Other than that, it
"just works".

There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf on this box. What I take to be
the relevant parts of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf are:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
