Oh, I see. I was curious to know if the simulation would work for me—I find control-clicking a little cumbersome. I think I'll buy an Evoluent for my desktop Mac. I don't like very much the idea of carrying around a mouse to substitute my MacBook's buttonless trackpad, though, so I'll keep

I'm unable to simulate three buttons on my Magic Mouse. Is there something I have to do to turn this feature on? Thanks!

There are only two potential buttons with the Magic Mouse. The easiest way to get simulate the three buttons in p9p devdraw, drawterm, and 9vx is to do the option-click and cmd-click. Not the best for chording, but it works. Ctrl-click is also mapped, but I always forget which one really does

I own the old optical logitech mouse. It has fallen down a lot, also it was swinged against walls because of driver issues and one very rainy night I forgot it outside, connected to my x60s in standby. I'm still using both without any problems, although I often had to reboot the thinkpad because

Back to the Evoluents for me. I'm back to using trackballs :-) . And I guess I either have to fix this problem with the trackpad myself or wait for a fix or use an external pointing device. Has anyone tried the Contour Perfit? I've been hesitant to drop $100+ on it without knowing how it

I hope that the code will let one use the new clickable laptop trackpads as 3-button mice too, but I haven't tried that. i just did. acme isn't seeing any mouse clicks from a macbook's trackpad. i'll take a look and report in more detail in a bit.

here's a report. i obviously don't know enough about touch controls to be of any use, but i'd like to help with testing. - on my snow leopard macbook pro it appears that the multitouch library is found and devdraw is compiled with -DMULTITOUCH (indeed if i undef this the problem goes away). -

can you cat /dev/mouse and see if button 4/5 events are generated by the mouse? it may be that they give you something else than the usual down/up event that everybody is used to (large value deltas, for example). they may also be generating button 6 and up events instead, in which case you'll
