I have a 2 Button Microsoft serial mouse. The RedHat 6.2 installation inserted the following lines into XF86Config (amongst others): Protocol "Microsoft" Buttons 2 Emulate3Buttons This produced the following effect: When using the mouse, I could use button 1 (left click) and button 2 (left+right click) but not button 3 (right click). Removing the line 'Buttons 2' solved the problem. Thus it appears to be a problem within X which confuses the actual number of buttons with the emulated number of buttons. I have submitted this bug to the XFree86 development team, but would respectfully suggest that the RH install script should be altered to take this into account, or a note should be clearly made in the documentation.
I believe we have corrected this issue in Red Hat Linux 7.0, assigning to a developer to verify.
Brock, you've done some recent testing with serial mice. What's the status of them?
Apparently, this is still broken.
Against wolverine?
Seems to be working now with the latest internal builds.
