1. Introduction

This document describes mouse support in XFree86 4.8.0.

Mouse configuration has often been a mysterious task for novice users. With XFree86 4.5.0 and later, mouse configuration is automatic for most common setups on most platforms, to the point where an explicit mouse "InputDevice" section is not required in the XF86Config file.

However, if you have a less common setup, or wish to customize your mouse configuration, you should find it straightforward to write the mouse "InputDevice" section in the XF86Config file by hand. The information in this document should help with that. Also refer to the XFree86 mouse driver manual page (mouse(4)).
