Any suggestions as to how to get "X" to > do the same?? I don't think thats "new behavior" for gpm... I've been using gpm for non x sessions since I was a slackware 3.5 user. And on every linux distro I've tried since, that's exactly how gpm works. I don't know how to get X to do the same exact behavior you describe, but then I don't use a wheel mouse... What I do use is a two button mouse and until fedora ( I think it was FC2, but it could have been FC1) every linux I ever had that detected my ps2 mouse simply set the x mouse setting "Emulate3Buttons" to "yes" Which causes the middle button to be emulated when I hit both the left and the right mouse buttons at the same time (it doesn't work to hold one then tap the other, but requires a two fingered jab) When I went looking for why this didn't work in FC2 in the x configuration file ( look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or possibly /etc/X11/XF86Config ) I found not one but two mouse configuration sections. the second one having this comment block: # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time. In this second section, the "Emulate3Buttons" was set to "no"... I fixed it to say "yes" and the next time the x server started, "Emulate3Buttons" was working again. Actually though, I'm hoping somebody replies with a method to get x to use gpm's method where the right mouse button by itself pastes rather than popping open a menu. As I find having to chord two buttons to get it to paste to be a pain. - -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> ############################################################## # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################## -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA7VnxRZ/61mwhY94RAluYAJ9xd7CxpNSxDcDyq3fUHthtHWkppwCdGHuZ B/hOHcWNCcufxuQBEq+J9xY= =I84G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
