Hi:

My mouse only have two buttons. Is there any way to emulate the middle button
of 3-button mouse by combing 2-button mouse click and key stroke?

Thanks,
Yang-Cheng

Sure,
        Look in $HOME/Xconfig around the mouse section for

Emulate3Buttons

The use is to click both buttons at the same time for the middle button
action. ie: paste

Unfortunately, this work-around relies on button-releases and mouse
moves to activate X button-presses, so it's not as natural.  As the
original post suggested, it would be nicer to be able to emulate the
middle button by say Alt-LButton.

1. : 2-button vs 3-button mouse

Hi,
I have a 3-button mouse at work, but the PC at work running
Linux does not work when I switch from 2-button to 3-button.
I found a file: /etc/Xaccel.ini that specifies the mouse
to /dev/ttyS0, and "Microsoft".  I assume that this is the
cause for the problem, but as a 3-day-old Linux newbie,
I would like to consult with advanced users first.  My questions
are:

A) is that file "Xaccel.ini" the right one to change?
B) How can I change it to be 3-button?

Thanks in advance.
