How to enable USB wheel mouse in HP workstation

[Madhu Kangara]

The mouse works like a 2 button mouse. But no functionality for the wheel. If it is not supported in HPUX , why did HP sold us that with the workstation.

If it is supported, could you please tell me how to configure it correctly
Thanks

I don't think HP-UX has the ability to support the wheel on the mouse.

As to why they sold it to you? Because it is a standard mouse. They probably by them by the thousands since they can be used on PCs or HP-UX machines.

There is an undocumented way to force the X server to only see a certain
number of buttons. In /etc/X11/X0devices, this entry should work, provided you
have a recent X server patch:

Begin_Device_Description
Name hid.1
Entrypoint hidmouse_Init
Use Pointer
Path /dev/hid/mouse_001:num_buttons=3
End_Device_Description

Hello!

I work with team that making graphics products
(OpenGL) on HPUX 11.0 and they empliment the
use in aplication for the wheel.

The wheel also work as the third button.

HP don't implement in the aplications use of
wheel.
