should work. Just wanted to know before I buy.

i have a cordless mouseman hooked up to my 8500, been using it for a number
of years. wow... i can't go back to a single button mouse. it's worked
flawlessly since day one of MkLinux-PCI and now on LinuxPPC.
hope this helps,

1. YDL/CS 1.2: Emulate 3-button mouse w/ 1-button ADB?
Yes, yes, I know. Truly the ways of Linux I will never master until I
get a real mouse. So sue me. :-)
I've got an effectively one-button ADB mouse. This makes Gnome and KDE
rather, well, "challenging." I've read plenty of stuff about how Linux
for PPC is supposed to be able to map keyboard keys to the 2nd and 3rd
buttons -- but I'll be damned if I can figure out what they're talking
about.
I found the note about adding "adb_buttons=1,122,120" to the kernel
arguments. I will admit, I'm not entirely sure where you specify kernel
arguments. Does this mean the "extra kernel arguments" field in BootX?
If so, did that -- it didn't work.
What I'd =like= is if I can do what MacOS does, namely, instead of
mapping them to keys, map them to modifier-click combinations, like
open-apple-click for button 2 and control-click for 3. But nobody seems
to be doing that.
(By the way, among the things that messed me up; every OTHER weird OS or
emulator I've used mapped "alt" to the option key. It took me 20 minutes
to figure out that YDL mapped it to the open-apple key. Weird. And just
plain =wrong=, too, since the option key =says= "alt" on it as well.)
