Re: Can't click links in Netscape??
Thanks to all who replied. I always used to start X using wdm, but the last time I started X I used 'startx'. I just quit X now, and restarted wdm, and netscape behaved properly... I think it may have been some bad /etc/X11/Xsession settings. I had changed /etc/X11/wdm/Xsession to allow netscape to make use of the wheel button on my mouse (for line scrolling, Alt+wheel allows me to scroll pages now, all very cool). It would be nice to get netscape to behave when using startx, but it isn't a high priority Thanks, Wim.

Re: Can't click links in Netscape??
i suppose its possible, the mouse works 'normally' in other apps? what version of netscape?(version and libc version and kernel version linux netscape 4.7 glibc kernel 2.2)... dont know where it would be stored, have you tried removing netscape and reinstalling it? check /usr/lib/netscape.ad for netscape's app-defaults, assuming you installed netscape the dpkg way nate On Thu, 24 Feb 2000, Wim Kerkhoff wrote: wim >Netscape seems to exit and start cleanly... wim > wim >Could it be that the mapping for the mouse buttons are messed up?

Re: Can't click links in Netscape??
Netscape seems to exit and start cleanly... Could it be that the mapping for the mouse buttons are messed up? Do you know where those settings are stored?

Shouldn't happen, but it's possible that a modifier key (usually caps lock or numlock) is interfering with your mouse. Under X this can change the interpretation of a mouse button press. -- Karsten M. Self (kmself@ix.netcom.com) What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?

Can't click links in Netscape??
Hi Everyone, For some reason, I can't click links in netscape anymore. I can right click them and hit "Open Link in New Window", but left click them and have it open in the same window like it should. This is with Communicator 4.7. Ideas anyone? It is a real PITA to have to open in a new window, or type the path in manually all the time... Thanks, Wim Kerkhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.canadianhomes.net/wim
