I'm running 3.1 and I had Cocolino and Freewheel installed for the previous (PS2) mouse with a Cocolino adaptor. I don't think I still have the Cocolino software, but it is installed - is it freeware? Yes, without any drivers running, the Tikus works like a normal 2 button Amiga mouse - and yes, it fixes the problem I had with not being able to scroll the map in Steel Empire (WHDLoad). I'm just frustrated that I don't seem to be able to get the middle button/scrollwheel working, despite the fact that it worked with the previous mouse/adaptor. |

Solution: OK, so another few hours gone from my lifetime.
I tested all the adapters in my spreadsheet except Micromys (driver) which I will conclude from the test work like the others: Just get the specific mouse driver for the adapter and then FreeWheel will work automatically. The wrong driver will give MMB clicks on LMB (which with FreeWheel will switch screen) and spurious stuff like you're experiencing. (So if you leave the Cocolino driver in there it will probably mess stuff up even if you install the correct one. Just comment it out in s:User-Startup.) >> To confirm correct mouse drivers (and for some adapters maybe also "adapter mode" just run RawKeys. Great program! So e.g. here >> on the TIKUS product page follow instructions, and TankMouse.lha is the driver. Tested with:
That's it! |

First of all, thanks ever so much for your time and trouble. No success so far. Using the Tikus adaptor the usb mouse I bought works fine but not with the wheel/middle button(wheel click). I've gone through my user-startup and commented out any other drivers and installed Tankmouse. The mouse doesn't seem to act any differently whether Tankmouse is installed or not. Freewheel doesn't make a difference either. Freewheel is working though because I can speed up or slow down the mouse acceleration and it does save to it's config file. AmigaStore.eu (where I bought the Tikus says to use the Cocolino driver). :-/ I will take a look at Rawkeys tomorrow. Again, thanks for your advice, I'm possibly doing something stupid, but I really don't know what. |

Yeah, I only specified which adapters worked by reference. So specifically: Cocolino, TIKUS and HID2AMI were tested and worked fine with their respective driver (and I'm sure Micromys does too!)
It was tested on an Amiga 1200 with 68060 and running KS3.1. So with all things equal except CPU, maybe it's along the lines Sampedenawa suggests? |

It seems not. I have just tested it on my Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1260 and got exactly the same result. Provided there are no other drivers installed the mouse works fine as a 2 button mouse. Installing Tankmouse and using it with Freewheel makes no difference, nothing from the wheel/middle button. If this is working for other people, I'm inclined to think it's more likely something I've done (or haven't done) rather than a faulty unit. :-/ |
