- Yes. Yes. Yes. This should be in the FAQ by now, if it isn't already.
-
- For users of a Genius mouse (any model), you have one of two choices:
-
- 1) Set it to Microsoft-compatible mode (as per your owner's manual)
- and use the Serial or Bus driver. You might also be able to use
- the PS/2 driver for the Bus mouse. Setting MS mode on most Genius
- mice involves holding down a button while powering-on the machine
- (not while rebooting). Note that in MS-mode, the center button
- will be useless, since the MS/IBM driver doesn't support it.
-
- 2) Leave the mouse in its default (Mouse-Systems compatible) mode and
- use the Logitech (serial or bus) driver. This will also work, with
- the following change: Your "right" button will now be the center
- button. The actual right button will do nothing. This will extend
- into DOS sessions.
