Cygwin/X X Server 1.12.3 Middle Click Problem
I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude XT2 with an external Dell 3 button (scroll wheel) optical mouse. I have Cygwin package cygwin-1.7.16-1 installed with the packages in the user guide suggested for Xwin capability and SSH. My intention for use is to SSH to a Ubuntu boxes and mostly run Xemacs to program. My main problem is not being able to get the middle click to be recognized in the Xwindows, including xterm local, as a paste. I have tried a different combination of software, namely Xming and Putty, but with no greater success. I also tried an older version of Cygwin from 2010, again to no success. The mouse middle button is recognized by the windows operating system and is in the auto scroll mode under the mouse settings. The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xterm). But the paste does not work with the middle click. I tried a different mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow to recognize a 5th mouse button (unassigned and threw an error in xemacs) when the middle click was set to zoom instead of autoscroll, but alas no paste. So, I have scoured as much google as I can follow and found more than my fair share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double click (left and right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but nothing much to help me diagnose why the middle button does paste with my three button mouse. What further information or tests may I try to figure out what is at the source of this problem? I have attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log files as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only the ones suggested in the setup). I assume that it is something to do with the Windows 7 operating system, as I have not had the problem in the past on other laptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with other desktops. I have reached the limits of my computing knowledge and would like to inquire as to the community's knowledge of how the program treats the chain of events from middle click to xemacs paste, a chain I am not intimately familiar.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: motif; Obsoleted: lesstif
The following packages have been added to the Cygwin distribution: *** motif-2.3.4-1 (replaces: lesstif) *** libXm4-2.3.4-1 *** libXm-devel-2.3.4-1 Motif is a freely available source code distribution for the Motif user interface component toolkit. Motif is built on top of the standard X Toolkit (Xt) and X11 libraries. At long last, the (Open)Motif toolkit has been open-sourced (LGPL2.1), finally allowing its inclusion in the Cygwin distribution. In doing so, it replaces lesstif as the provider of mwm(1) and the Motif widget library (libXm). Motif also provides numerous improvements over the lesstif implementation, including support for UTF-8, TrueType fonts, and JPEG and PNG images. -- Yaakov Cygwin/X CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO == If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
