hi. i have a 3 button scroll mouse and in x it only recognizes it as a 2 button mouse, i assume i probably didnt specify it correctly when i configured x, but xf86config and xf86setup dont exist and i tried to just edit the x.conf file by hand and i dont think i did it right, so if somebody could tell me how to edit it correctly or give me other instructions it would be greatly appreciated

How does your Mouse section in your xorg.conf looks like?

does it matter where?

chubs730

nevermind that fixed it thank you very much!

No, it doesn't really matter where you add it, as long as it is in the Mouse section of course.

Glad it worked
