Thanks for the feedback. I have updated the post so that the correct quotation marks should now be displayed.

I must agree with Bradley, these are really good directions, but the user need to be carefull and replace the quotation marks with double apstrophes (“). After that it worked with my Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0.

These are good directions, they worked for my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth. However, a word of caution, don’t copy and paste the new xorg.conf changes. The website uses actual quotation marks instead of double apostrophes, so when you paste it into the xorg.conf the quotation marks show up as special characters and will crash your X server. I was able to recover it by getting into a command line and using nano to change the special characters to double apostrophes. In case you’re ever in that situation, get to a command line and type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf then modify the special characters. (hint: the ^X means to hold Ctrl and press X). Good luck.

This is the only one that I have found that works for the intellimouse 1.1..

A lot of others say you have to do a whole lot more… but this way is so simple..

Thanks…
