i'm attempting to map F1/2/3 or F3/4/5 (which trio doesn't really matter) to function as the mouse buttons (L,M,R) in addition to the mouse. the mouse is a standard issue 2 or 3 button ps/2 mouse. i've gotten this working fine on many other redhat 2.4.9-13 linux boxes, by creating a .xmodmaprc file in the user's home directory, and having xmodmap (and accessxtimeout) called in his/her .cshrc. the .xmodmaprc file has something like:
keysym F6 = Pointer_Button1 keysym F7 = Pointer_Button2 keysym F8 = Pointer_Button3 where F6/7/8 here are mapped to function as the L,M,R mouse buttons. at times i've used keysyms since they're easy, or i've used xev instead to determine the keycodes and use those instead. the problem lies in this particular setup using one of those kinesis ergo keyboards. i tried using xkeycaps to determine keycodes since generic keysyms doesn't work, but the default keyboard it presents me is not a good choice, and the other alternatives to choose from generic or specific don't match up; i can not find a good close keyboard to this kinesis one. has anyone ever worked with a kinesis ergo mouse buttons-to-keys mapping like the above and succeeded? which specifically is the best/right choice of the keyboard under xkeycaps? i am stumped. any help so very much appreciated; thanks. pixar::UNIX systems::sys ops::elle _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
