Hi All,

I've just bought a multi-button mouse for my iBook. It's got left and right buttons, and a scroll wheel that also is a button.

I didn't install any drivers.

It's weird, the left button is already a standard click, the right button is set to control click. Is this what Jaguar automatically sets when multi-button mice are attached?

The scroll wheel button doesn't do anything though.

Can anyone suggest a way that I can change the button assignments? (I want to set the scroll button to "command+option+H", which would be very useful :-)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Chas

Hmm, and to make matters even stranger, I'm having trouble getting it to work on my iBook (it works on my G4 desktop).

It took almost 5 minutes for the iBook to first recognise the mouse, and when I disconnected it and then reconnected, the iBook then refused to recognise it all (still doesn't).

Help?
