Dear Ariel,

> 1) Is this type of mouse supported at all?
Cygwin/X supports all mice which Windows supports.

> 2) Must the functionality of the mouse be enabled

Normal setting is sufficient.  However, your mouse driver
may provide additional functionalities which prevent
Cygwin/X from detecting correct buttons.

You can do a good test with xev.  It should print
ButtonPress/ButtonRelease events with 'button' field
set to 3 for the right mouse button.

'cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv' shows the version number of
your Cygwin/X installation.  'xmodmap -pp' shows button
mapping in Cygwin/X.

Hope this helps.
