My mouse (a4 tech or something silly... not at home now) is set as microsoft mouse, and the switch is set at '2' (as opposed to '3' which makes it act mousesystems-y). Here's the cool part... for gpm (selection) It recognizes all three buttons even though it is set to 2, and even though I could have sworn that the microsoft protocol didn't deal with 3 buttons. It doesn't work with X, though :( I've noticed that movement seems to be a lot smoother (maybe not... might be imagining it) when the mouse is in ms mode, so this made me really happy. charlie -- companion to our demons, they will dance and we will play --
