With about 7 reboots and looking at the motherboard book I am certain
the mouse and the keyboard are plugged in properly. But when I press
both the left and right mouse buttons I always get not what I expect but
a panel much like the Edit key shows when clicked. It is not always the
same. But never is it what I am used to getting.
I put a lot of print on a terminal window and then select some of it.
Then try to let it appear on another terminal window but all I get is
the darn old panel. I'm now certain it is a system problem but I have no
idea what.
Are you in the gui {gnome?} or vt1..4 ?
If you are talking gnome-terminal:
both click = middle click button3 = paste what is currently highlighted
into the current edit position. {ie the command that is being entered at
the bottom of the terminal}.
Sometimes it rather difficult to get the both click timing correct.
On a wheel mouse {mine} pushing the wheel down {into the mouse} also
does the middle / button 3 click.
You could also ctrl-alt-c to copy and then ctrl-alt-v to paste the text.
