Hi!

	Just wondering if anyone knows how to configure the XF86Config to
work with a 3 button mouse? All I've managed so far is to get the Left and
Right button to work, but not the middle one. I've checked out the man page
for XF86Config but it didn't help. I know that the middle button
works under linux - the following command allows 3 button cut and paste
in the tty mode:-

	gpm -t ms -3

Which says the type of the mouse is microsoft and forces 3 button mode. Is
there similar commands to force X to work in 3 button mode ? Any suggestion
will be appreciated.

Thanx in advance !

Peter
