I didn't had any problems with any 3 button mice. it true that some 3
button mice (note that the plural of mouse is mice not mouses) will not
have the middle button operatable in windows (my mouse for example) but
that does not goes to say that it isn't operatble in linux (my mouse has
all 3 buttons working in linux) or that people using windows don't use the
middle button at all - there is some software out there (most notably from
logitech) that will allow you to assign the middle button to do stuff, and
IE uses middle button to scroll. but this is getting way out of topic here
- so to get back on topic :^) ..
Alex - another addition to your list - all 56K Cirrus Logic and
Motorola Modems sold in Israel are winmodems and will not work with linux.
