I have a 3 button serial mouse. In XF86Config, I have:
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
I activate gpm by invoking: gpm -3 -t pnp -B 132 -R.
My problem is that only 2 buttons work on the mouse. Button #1 cuts and
button #3 pastes and moves the scrollbars on my xterm/nxterm. Button #2
is inactive. If is use "-B 123" in the gpm command, then all three
buttons work - button #1 cuts, button #2 pastes and button #3 extends
the cut. This is exactly what I expect for standard X windows button
configuration. The problem is that I cannot get the xterm/nxterm
scrollbars to work in this configuration. Any ideas? Do I need to do
something in my .Xresources file?
TIA,
Steve Ettorre
