I have a 3 button "Digital Edge" mouse and I am trying to set it up within XF86Config. The best working setup is using a Microsoft driver however this still has the problem that when testing it the buttons work the right to left and vice versa works but I cannot move the cursor up and down. It is a serial mouse on com port 1 there appears to be no interrupt problems with com 3 as on start up this is moved to IRQ 11. Any ideas would be gratefully received....
you have to take off the parameter : -R
to share data in X mode and console mode, but its doesnt work.
its a bug of GPM, you can read about this : man gpm (BUGS session)
