Re: Wheelmouse in RH7

["Dave Carlson" <dcarlson ontogenics com>]

While we are on the subject of the Microsoft wheel mouse with RH7, is it
possible to have the wheel act as button-2 in X applications (like emacs)?
On initial setup, RH recognized a "generic 3-button mouse" so I left
emulate 3-button set to "off".  The wheel clicks like a mouse button, so is
it supposed to work that way?  Right now, I get nothing, so I have a
2-button mouse.

Thanks!
