I had some trouble with this too, but this is what I did (I have a Pismo): *Figure out which keys you want for second and third mouse buttons (I use F10 and F11)
*In a console, use the app "showkeys" to determine the keycodes for those two keys (note that you don't have to push the "fn" key on the keyboard for this to work). When I used showkeys and xev in Xwindows, they both gave me different keycodes - none of which worked. I had to use the keycodes I got from running showkeys in a console. *edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following lines: dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation=1 dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode=68 dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode=87 (remember that "68" is my F10 and "87" is my F11) After that I still had some problems with those keys not working as mouse buttons until I rebooted. After the reboot, the keys work fine. Hope this helps. >hi all, i have installed debian 2.2r3 in a powerbook g3, but i can't figure >out how to emulate the rigth button mouse with the touchpad ... in >XF86Config ( xfree 3.3.6 ) i did not find any option for this. can someone >point me to some documentation? thx >Ivan "mac user since june 16 2001 :-)" Fabris -- Tracey Sebold -- 6th of Tammuz, 5761 -- Tomorrow will be cancelled due to lack of interest.
