I have two Gentoo boxes side by side. My machine allows me (for most applications) to highlight text with the mouse in one window, and then go to another and paste the data using a single click the middle button (wheel) of the mouse. It also allows me to use Ctrl-C/V keyboard shortcuts with some apps. On the machine I'm building for my father none of this works. The middle button isn't working. It does work to press both the left and right buttons together. I'm thinking this is something to do with the 'Emulate 3 button mouse' question that comes up when building the XF86config file, but I'm not spotting the difference between the two files. Both seem to be set up as follows: # *** *** # Core Pointer's InputDevice section # *** *** Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option ProtocolPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms) #Option Emulate3Buttons #Option Emulate3Timeout50 EndSection What else can I look at to fix this?

I'm not certain how ChordMiddle would work on PS/2 but I would suppose that if you have 3 button emulation set, pressing both buttons at once would paste.

The Emulate3Buttons did not have any effect. Thanks for your help. Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
