Ack.
I've gone through the archives and don't see any resolution to this
issue.
Just installed 1.2 on iMac 333Mhz and I can't get access to 2nd/3rd
mouse buttons.
Used mouseconfig to config mouse and used "emulate 3 button" option.
Found reference in archives to http://people.a2000.nl/omoerbe/? But that
didn't yield any results.
Also found reference to
http://www.darthmouth.edu/~jonh/lppc-serve/cache/835.html
Soln there was to do
mousemode 3 -1
mousemode 3 4
Which also doesn't work (for me at least)
mousemode 3 4
yields
handler for addr 3 was -1
trying to set handler to 4...
handler is now -1
To me this would indicate trouble with the usb keyboard driver. Could
that be the case?
/etc/sysconfig/mouse =
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
FULLNAME="Universal Serial Bus 1 Button Mouse (USB)"
XEMU3=yes
Could be user error...in that I just don't know how to invoke the second
/third buttons.
Without, this emulation, cut/paste are just not there and operation is
severly hindered.
*Besides* buying a three button mouse, How do I get this to work.
Mucho thanks in advance!
