## 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)).
