devices operated by the same driver are shown as one mouse. Activate or deactivate
the currently selected mouse with the check box at the top of the dialog. Below the
check box, see the current settings for that mouse. Normally, the mouse is detected
automatically, but you can change it manually if the automatic detection fails. Refer to
the documentation for your mouse for a description of the model. Click Change to select
the vendor and model from two lists then click OK to confirm your selection. In the
options part of the dialog, set various options for operating your mouse.
Activate 3-Button Emulation
If your mouse has only two buttons, a third button is emulated when you click both
buttons simultaneously.
Activate Mouse Wheel
Check this box to use a scroll wheel.
Invert X-Axis and Invert Y-Axis
If one of these options is selected, the mouse pointer moves in the opposite direction.
For touch pads, this feature is sometimes useful.
Emulate Wheel with Mouse Button
If your mouse does not have a scroll wheel but you want to use similar functional-
ity, you can assign an additional button for this. Select the button to use. While
pressing this button, any movement of the mouse is translated into scroll wheel
commands. This feature is especially useful with trackballs.
When you are satisfied with your settings, click OK to confirm your changes.
NOTE
Any changes you make here take effect only after you restart the X server.
