<title>Additional X Window System Configuration</title>
<para>Below you will find information on fine tuning the components of both
variants of X Window System. 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><userinput>Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse 0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection</userinput></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 <parameter>ZAxisMapping</parameter> option, and set the
<parameter>Buttons</parameter> option appropriately to enable side to
side scrolling. Additional information on button assignment can be found in
the following <application>XFree86</application> document:</para>
