 <para xml:id="BId-drakxid-selectMouse-pa1" revision="12"><indexterm xml:id="BId-drakxid-selectMouse-it1"><primary>mouse</primary></indexterm>Usually,
  <application>DrakX</application> 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. <application>DrakX</application> will automatically know whether your mouse
  uses a <acronym>PS/2</acronym>, serial or <acronym>USB</acronym> interface.</para>

 <note>
  <para xml:id="BIdNEW-drakxid-selectMouse-pa5" revision="2">If you have a
   3-button mouse without a wheel, you can choose a <guilabel>with
   Wheel emulation</guilabel> mouse. <application>DrakX</application> 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.</para>

  <para xml:id="BId-drakxid-selectMouse-pa2">If for some reason you wish
    to specify a different type of mouse, select it from the list

    <guilabel>Universal | Any PS/2 &amp; USB mice</guilabel> entry to
    choose a <quote>generic</quote> mouse type which will work with
    nearly all mice.</para>

 <para xml:id="BId-drakxid-selectMouse-pa3" revision="12">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 <keycap>space</keycap> bar or
  <keycap>Enter</keycap> key to cancel the test and you will be
  returned to the mouse list.</para>

 <note>
  <para xml:id="BId-drakxid-selectMouse-pa4" revision="3">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 <guibutton>Next</guibutton>
   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.</para>
