GPM problems

[William M. Quarles]

It is a 3-button mouse.  The wheel can be depressed, thus it has a
middle button.  It works perfectly fine as a three button mouse in X
because it is one.  Plus, the Microsoft Intellimouse is one of the
options in the config program.

On top of all of that, the name of the program is redhat-config-mouse.
I prefer the much shorter name for it (also the only name it used to
have), mouseconfig.

However, since you brought it up, switching to the two-button mouse 
configuration did not make a difference.  However, switching to the 
two-button configuration, then switching to Generic Wheel Mouse did 
work.  I then switched it back to the Intellimouse setting (which I 
think is the same thing, but oh well), and it continued to work.  So I 
guess thanks making the mistake that helped me make things right again.
