Hi all,

I'm having a miserable time trying to get my 3-button mouse running
properly under XFree86. It's a no-name job (brand is "Arlec" whatever
that means) and seems to be a microsoft compatible 3 button serial
mouse. All three buttons work under Curtains95.

None of the pointer protocol options seem to get the middle button
working, and I don't much like the Emulate3Buttons flag. The X server is
X32s3v (I got a S3Virge based video card). 

Any ideas?

Humble thanks, etc.
