If so, could some kind soul answer the following question: does X require a 3-button mouse? I have a 2-button Microsoft bus mouse that works fine, but I also have a 3-button Logitech bus mouse (Series C9) that doesn't work at all under Xenix 2.3.[23]. I've installed a patch from SCO (unx204, for both Xenix and Unix) that I thought would correct the problem, but no. The boot time device list (as recorded in /usr/adm/messages) shows a bus mouse at interrupt vector 5, addressing 0x023C-0x023E, yet when I try to use it (with usemouse), nothing happens. No error messages, either. I'd like to get a 3-button mouse working, but I don't know if it's possible under Xenix. If I install X11R4, how would the lack of the middle button affect things? Can I get along without it? And what about Chain Lee's socket emulator--pressing all three buttons at once is supposed to switch to text mode for multiscreen changes, but what if I don't have but two buttons?
