<title>Additional X Window System Configuration</title>
<para>Below you will find information on fine tuning the components of both
variants of <application>X Window System</application>. The documentation
links are specifically for <application>XFree86</application>, however, the
information contained in those documents usually pertains to
<application>Xorg</application> as well.</para>

<title>Mice</title>
<para>Multi-button mice can be used to their full potential by mapping
the additional buttons to X button events. Wheel mice are a common example.
The ordinary ones contain two buttons, and a scroll wheel that doubles as
a third button. As far as <application>X</application> is concerned, there
are 5 buttons as it counts the 'scroll up' and 'scroll down' functions
(internally they are buttons). Here is an example 'InputDevice' section for
a typical PS/2 wheel mouse:</para>
<screen><literal>Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse 0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection</literal></screen>
<para>Button assignments differ for every mouse type. On more exotic
mice, you may find that the rocker wheel buttons are 6 and 7. Simply
add those values to the <option>ZAxisMapping</option> option, and set
the <option>Buttons</option> option appropriately to enable side to
side scrolling. Additional information on button assignment can be
found in the following <application>XFree86</application>
document:</para>
