You would have to do that in the X server itself, I am pretty sure. One of the XFree input extensions may already do this; I would start looking there. I am thinking this would be a bad idea, though -- a lot of things use that right mouse button extensively, or actually depend on it. The middle button would be a better bet, except you would lose "paste" in traditional Unix programs then. "Buttons" 4 and 5 are used for Z-axis scrolling. And standard X11 has a limit of 5 buttons, or so I am told. What we really need is a better pointing device API. X11 was not designed with mouse wheels in mind. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
