## Installation

No driver installation is required. The mouse should be detected at boot or whenever it is hot-plugged.

## Issues

After being plugged, the mouse will seems to work, but you may experience different issues :

- You can't move windows around when grabbing the window's title bar. (happens with Openbox and other Window Manager)
- You can't click on buttons.
- You can't get the focus on windows.
- You can't open menus, even with keyboard shortcuts.
- Display doesn't refresh (using Xcompmgr or Cairo Compmgr)

## Solution

With root privileges, create and edit the file `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse.conf` (see xorg).

Add the following content :

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier     "Mouse0"
        Driver         "evdev"
        Option         "Name" "Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.3 Mouse"
        Option         "Vendor" "06a3"
        Option         "Product" "0ccc"
        Option         "Protocol" "auto"
        Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event4"
        Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
        Option         "Buttons" "7"
        Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
        Option         "Resolution" "3200"
