Paul, Xorg handles this (and gpm in the console without X). These articles might be of help: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-evdev-middle-mouse-button-emulation.html https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107490 and also (although this article is for FreeBSD): https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/middle-click-doesnt-paste-in-terminal.18865/ Does the copy and paste work when you press button one and two together (emulate third button)? Make sure (or try) evdev is your mouse driver (try playing with xorg.conf): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "evdev" Option "Name" "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse" EndSection Get and use the exact string of your mouse name via: cat /proc/bus/input/devices Be sure and restart Xorg to make any config changes take effect. Watch out for any xmodmap (.xmodmap) / xinput options or other mouse button mapping settings that could be causing the problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4507/how-do-i-disable-middle-mouse-button-click-paste BTW, for those using GNOME: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/13/09/24/1252243/middle-click-paste-not-for-long http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ0NjA https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Selections Cheers, Mike Shell -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
