mouse 3-button-emulation - middle click
« on: April 02, 2011, 04:05:45 PM »
hi,

i have problems with my mouse. the 3-button-emulation - middle click - doesn't work.
my hardware supports on other configurations with debian, livecds or bsds the middle-click.
in the moment i use strg-c and shift-insert for copyandpaste, but its not so comfortable.
do you see there ways that i can try.

thanks a lot for your good work.

Tried 'xsetup' ?

That solved my problem and makes now all much easier.
when i choosed the usb 2-button-mouse i was able to copy&paste, but my scrolling did not work any more.
So I changed my .xsession in that way:

/usr/bin/Xvesa -br -screen 1280x1024x24 -shadow -2button -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Now I can copy&paste from terminal to mc to browser and backward...
and the scrolling on my touchpad works fine.
just great, little things can help a lot.
