Hello All:
    Am using red hat 7.2.
    
I have installed a 4 - button
  Logitech Optical Marble Mouse (USB/PS2)
  on a USB port and used setup to configure
  as generic USB mouse with 3 buttons emulated.

  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
  appears as follows in the input section:
  ***************************************
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse0"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
  ***************************************
I would prefer Emulate3Buttons option as
long as it allows pasting via 'chording'
the main buttons

I would like to map the other two buttons
for scrolling, etc.

I would welcome any advice, documentations etc. on
this.

Thanks
