2003-09-24 Thread Mathias Frhlich
Hi all, I have implemented a new feature for the mouse driver. On the one side I like the copy and paste function with the middle mouse button in X11. On the other side I like the scrolling capability using the same middle mouse button and a trackpoint like it is built into most IBM
