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 J.
it does sound like gpm not running use the gui tool system-config-services to turn on gpm or menu -> system settings -> server settings -> services
Hi Stef and all, I just checked and gpm is running. Which leaves me thinking William is possibly correct that there's a config file somewheres that's not quite right. I did check the non-X logins i.e. F1-F6 and found that I can copy and paste but have to use the left and right mouse buttons not the left and center. Which I "think" is new behavior. Any suggestions as to how to get "X" to do the same??
thanks J.
