I'm using an XLR8 Point&Scroll mouse... works great.
plugged it in... booted linux... worked! now if i only
could get the scroll wheel to work... pressing it is a
button tho so it's a full 3 button mouse. there are
things for scroll wheels in linux but not sure if
it'll work. specially cuz the one i found uses
XF86Config, i'm using Xpmac which i seemed to read
that it doesn't use that file.

Yep, I'm not aware of any way to use it with Xpmac. With XF68_FBDev it's
working great. Now, if I could only get the wheel recognized in /dev/gpmdata!
When I pass the mouse input through gpm to use th usb mouse and the
trackpad, the wheel doesn't work. I've already installed a patched gpm
from debian (in /debian/dists/potato/main/source/misc/gpm_1.17.8.*) that's
supposed to fix this, but gpm still either doesn't repat the wheel action
properly or XFree doesn't recognize it. Maybe all it would take is to have
XFree read /dev/gpmdata in "IMPS/2" protocoll (currently this only works
with "MouseSystems")? Any ideas?

Dear Uni Mouse Fanatics,

What's the Uni Mouse?

quoted

Is this the only mouse that will work in 3 button
mode for Linux....or
will any USB Mouse work.

I am particular towards the Kensington Turbo Ball
for purely
atherosclerotic reasons.  You move your palm or
fingers, not your whole
hand and elbow.  Helps keep the years off my
wrist/elbow replacement  Its
USB.  Will it work?

Like these, too. I've a Logitech ADB Trackman on my old 8100. Wish I'd find
such a thing for my PB.

Greetings,
