On my imac running Debian woody, I have this entry in /etc/sysctl.conf: dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 87 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 88
This gives me a middle button with F11 and a right button with F12. Then restart procps with: /etc/init.d/procps.sh restart Not sure about the /dev/input/mice thing but there is some discussion about it on the ppc list archive. There is an issue with keyboard codes - can't remember how I solved this exactly, but the debian ppc list archive is a good source of info - you might have to google that one as I gotta get back to the studio.
