1. I can't copy/paste using the usual
two buttons.
Works for me. Run "xev" from a terminal and use the second mouse
button
in its X window. What is printed to the terminal when you do
that? You
should see:
ButtonPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x5600001,
root 0xf7, subw 0x0, time 1254135, (111,136),
root:(1561,182),
state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES

This is what I get with the right button "2" only here it's button 3
as it also is on the F-13 computer which works as expected. Both
computers call it button 3, I don't know why. There are four, 1, 3,
8, and 9 on this Logitech trackball that we use on all our
computers.
It works as is but it is very inconvenitent. The right button brings
up a menu and you have to tell it to copy, then repeat the process
to paste. Hopefully it will "get better" after a few updates.

2. I need to set the optimum screen
resolution for this older Dell
LCD but don't know how to display the model number to Google
for the
spec's. Yes I know I could get a flashlight and magnifier and
read it
off the back but that would mean disturbing my physical setup,
and I am
spoiled ...
I'm not sure how to look up EDID information from within X, but
you can
check /var/log/Xorg.0.log. There should be a line in there that
says
"Monitor name:".
I had to bite the bullet and get the model number and then was able
to Google for the specs. Apparently the display is running at the
optimum settings, [1280x1024 60.0*+]. For some reason I have to do
a lot of scrolling to view things like my dd-wrt router information
in Firefox. It may be the difference in aspect ration for two
different monitors. This older LCD is proportioned more like a crt
while the other is much wider.
Thanks.
Bob
