Hi,
My mouse seems can't copy(one button) and paste (2 button) in terminal windows.
How to fix that ? Thanks.

Under X, the paste is normally the middle button (press both buttons at the
same time if you do not have a 3-button mouse). If that is what you meant,
my apologies.

If the press-both-at-the-same-time doesn't work, you probably have to
configure X so your mouse has Emulate3Buttons set to on.

Please refer to your distributions manual on how to do this (mouseconfig,
yast, control center, xf86cfg, ...).

Take a look at mouseconfig(8) and gpm(8).
