Cut and Paste

[jonathan jefferies <jonathanjefferies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a dual boot of RedHat 9.0 and Fedora Core 2
with a track wheel as the center button.
With RH9.0 I can select text for copying simply by
holding down with the left most mouse button and then
paste using the center button. With Fedora I am not
able to use the same technique but find that in all
windows I have to select with the left most button,
then depress the right mouse button and select "copy".
And in order to paste I have to locate the window and
line, click the left most mouse button again
and then press the right most mouse button and
select "Paste" from the drop down menu. True this does
appear to work both in plain windows and apps like
Mozilla but I would prefer to also have the option
of using the center mouse button to paste without
having to do the drop down menu selection. Also I've
noticed that if I leave my "X" environment I do not
have cut and paste capabilities in the F1-F6 login
windows.

Any suggestions as to where this is controlled from?
And if "gpm" is the answer where should it be started
from, i.e. how to invoke the server?

Thanks
