30 Chapter 3:Installing Red Hat Linux

Figure 3–3 Mouse Configuration

If you have a PS/2 or a bus mouse, you do not need to pick a port and device. If you have a serial

mouse, you should choose the correct port and device that your serial mouse is on.

The

Emulate 3 Buttons checkbox allows you to use a two-button mouse as if it had three buttons. In

general, the X Window System is easier to use with a three-button mouse. If you select this checkbox,

you can emulate a third, "middle" button by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously.

Tip

To change your mouse configuration after you have completed the installa-

tion of Red Hat Linux, become root; then use the /usr/sbin/mousec-

onfig command from a shell prompt.

To configure your mouse to work as a left-handed mouse, reset the order of

the mouse buttons. To do this, after you have booted your Red Hat Linux

system, type gpm -B 321 at the shell prompt.
