[Bug 123201] Re: Microsoft track ball mouse: extra buttons don't work

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Andy,
The main problem here is that the mouse protocol "ImPS/2" is always selected by default in Ubuntu/Debian while your mouse and other mice need the "ExplorerPS/2" protocol to make the extra buttons work.
The ButtonMapping needed to make this work in FireFox is not a bug. But the wrong mouse protocol is a bug, that is why I will leave this bug report open.

** Summary changed:

- Microsoft track ball mouse: extra buttons don't work
+ Microsoft track ball mouse: extra buttons don't work (wrong mouse protocol)

--
