Deprecated - Configuring your Mouse
mouseUsually,
DrakX has no problems detecting the number of buttons on your
mouse. If it fails to properly recognize it, it assumes you have a
two-button mouse and will configure it for third-button
emulation. The third-button mouse button of a two-button mouse can
be obtained by simultaneously clicking the left and right mouse
buttons. DrakX will automatically know whether your mouse
uses a PS/2, serial or USB interface.
If you have a
3-button mouse without a wheel, you can choose a with
Wheel emulation mouse. DrakX will then configure
your mouse so that you can simulate the wheel with it: to do so,
press the middle button and move your mouse pointer up and down.
If for some reason you wish
to specify a different type of mouse, select it from the list
provided.
You can select the
Universal | Any PS/2 & USB mice entry to
choose a generic
mouse type which will work with
nearly all mice.
If you choose a
mouse other than the default one, a test screen will be
displayed. Use the buttons and wheel to verify that the settings are
correct and that the mouse is working correctly. If the mouse isn't
working well, press the space bar or
Enter key to cancel the test and you will be
returned to the mouse list.
mouse Wheel
Occasionally
wheel mice are not detected automatically, so you will need to
select your mouse from a list. Be sure to select the one
corresponding to the port that your mouse is attached to. After
selecting a mouse and pressing the Next
button, a mouse image will be displayed on-screen. Scroll the
mouse wheel to ensure that it is correctly activated. As you
scroll your mouse wheel, you will see the on-screen scroll wheel
moving. Test the buttons and check that the mouse pointer moves
on-screen as you move your mouse about.
