Mouse button emulation in Gnome
Hello, I am having problems with mouse button emulation with SuSE/Gnome. I sent an email to SuSE support earlier in the week, but I have yet to receive a response. Maybe someone here has run into the same problem. I am running an Apple PowerBook G3/333 (Lombard/Bronze keyboard) with SuSE PPC 7.1 - Kernel 2.4. All packages are the default versions from the PPC 7.1 CD. I have followed the directions from the SuSE web site (http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/poeml_mouse_buttons_emulation.html) and added the following to /etc/init.d/boot.local : echo "1" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation echo "87" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode # F11 echo "88" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode # F12 This has enabled mouse emulation in KDE, however when I switch to Gnome the F12 key no longer works as the right button. I have also tried passing the kernel argument: "adb_buttons=103,111" using Yaboot as suggested for other distributions, but that did not work for either KDE or Gnome. I would prefer to use Gnome as my desktop since that is what I am used to on the x86 platform. Is there a current fix for this problem? or am I missing something? -- BillT@Mahagonny.com | PGP KeyID#: 0xFB966670 If cryptography is outlawed, only outlaws jvyy unir pelcgbtencul.
