Configuring mouse behavior

• emulate a three-button mouse if your mouse only has two buttons

• configure your mouse for right- or left-handed use

• specify the rate of acceleration at which the mouse cursor (also called the mouse pointer) moves across the screen and the number of pixels the cursor must move before the mouse begins accelerating

• define a new duration that is allowed between the two clicks that constitute a double-click action

The steps for performing these configuration tasks are discussed in this chapter. Note that a number of these tasks should be completed by individual users using the scomouse client. The super-user cannot configure mouse behavior on a system-wide level.
