Ok, I found an adapter and Palm serial sync cable that will work with the pb1400c - the question is , does anyone know if the serial port on the pb1400 is recognised properly by Deb linux?
Mny Thx Once Again, Vito ----- Original Message ---- From: Vito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: nubus-pmac-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 10:30:04 AM Subject: Re: [Nubus-pmac-users] kensington orbit trackball Tobias thought that you might like to know that since I have been using your patched kernel 2.4.27 for PMU problems on my pb1400, the unexpected rebooting has dissappeared, and no more broken file systems. Beyond that, wanted to let all know who are using the Kensington orbit trackball what I have found. This mouse is interpreted by x as a 5 button mouse, even though it only has 2 buttons and a trackball. It maps buttons 4 and 5 to the trackball, and that the 2 buttons are mapped to 1 and 2, this causes the right button to be interpreted incorrectly as either a left click or a middle button as some others have indicated. Per others references here are the changes I ended up making. 1. I changed the xconfig file under the inputdevice section after the keyboard section to read: Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "100" Option "resolution" "250" EndSection Next I created a file .Xmodmap in my home directory ( which remaps the right button) and edited the following text into it : pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 now the right button is seen as button 3 and as a result I now can right click for the right click menu in gnome without the use of additional keyboard combination keys. I still do not get any result from the Emulate3Buttons however, as nothing happens when I click both buttons together. The resolution option really made a difference in the responsiveness of the mouse. If anyone solves the middle click problem, I would love to see it. Also, on my wish list is a 2.6 kernel and sound for the pb1400.
