26 Another approach is to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and search for
27 "InputDevice". Here's what my xorg.conf reads in that section:
28 ============
29 Section "InputDevice"
30 Identifier "MS Mouse"
31 Driver "mouse"
32 Option "Emulate3Buttons"
33 Option "ButtonNumber" "3"
34 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
35 Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
36 Option "Name" "USB-Mouse;IMPS/2"
37 Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
38 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
39 Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
40 EndSection
