Microsoft Explorer 3.0 drivers for RedHat 9.0?

[66FMC]

Are there any, and where could I get them?

This is the 1st time I've used Linux in years (never really used it, just experimented). Other than it seems to be a little slow (not sure why yet), I must say, I am very impressed with Red Hat 9.0!

The mouse, right? (I thought it was Intellimouse explorer)

You don't need specific drivers for it, outside of USB mouse support.

just use exps/2

Well, Intellimouse (USB) would not work for whatever reason, so I had to plug in the PS/2 adapter. It works fine now but I can't use all 5 buttons.

I'm so used to hitting buttons 4 and 5 to go back and forward on the Internet browser... it sucks to actually have to click back now. heh

Here's part of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file:

---
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
--

Maybe that will work for you. Make sure /dev/input/mice exists.

Thanks, that might work.

Here's what mine says:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

How do I edit XF86Config? Open with? None of then will let me edit.

Go to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and log in as root. You'll need to use an editor, it could be pico, edit, jed, or vi. You'll need to try all of them. Anyway, Assuming it's jed, type:

jed /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

All except for vi should be similar to DOS edit. Use #'s to comment out things so that you can uncomment them later if you need to.
