Only one button of my mouse works

Only one button of my mouse works

Post by Zhiping L » Sat, 21 May 1994 06:26:39



Hi, everyone:

Only one button of my mouse works. Under X, I can select strings but cannot
paste them, really anonying.

I am using a mouse that has three physical buttons and it has a switch
of 2<->3, if I switch to 2 it is MicroSoft compatiable otherwise it is
a three button MouseSystems compatiable.

I used both of these configurations in my Xconfig, they all have the same
problem. I am using Slackware 1.2 and XFree 86 2.1.

Are there some other people encounted such a problem and could you please
mail your solutions?

Many thanks

zack

Give DEC a call and ask them.
Or implement it yourself, and wait for DEC's lawyers to give you a call :->.

[[ LAT is a DEC-proprietary protocol for multiplexing a large number
of slow data links, typically from a serial port concentrator.  The
protocol addresses a problem that no longer exists -- very few sites
have a thousand very-low-bandwidth serial terminals connecting to one
machine. ]]

my configuration, I chose "selection -t ms" to be added to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local, but all these efforts cannot save me.
