where's the 2nd and 3rd button?
Hi folks! Can anyone please tell me, which keys I have to press to emulate the 2nd/3rd mouse-button? I somehow changed that on my old PowerBook and now that I got a new one I can't find the config file anymore where I have to set this...

Roland, Try holding option for one button and command for the other while you click your mouse button. I think that's how it worked on my powerbook G3. Can't recall, though. Don't think the ctrl key works like it does in macOS. Hope that's right. Seth Roland Hebertinger wrote:

SuSE Linux 6.4 for PowerPC installed quickly and efficiently on my Performa 6400. X was running immediately (had caused me a lot of problems with MkLinux and LinuxPPC) and MoL was up and running fine in minutes. One thing, though: I cannot activate the middle and right mouse button emulation. Neither the old MkLinux method (ALT+2 or 3), nor Alt+Command+2 or 3, nor the method described in the SuSE handbook (which I also use under MI/X) of Control or Command + Mouseclick. Just no way to access middle and right mouse buttons. All I have tested so far is one user running kde. Any hints? Heinz seth johnson wrote:

Hi! I found a solution for the Problem... at least that works on my Pismo... Fn + alt + MouseButton = right click alt + Mousebutton = middle click so, thanx anyway to everybody who replied to my mail... bye, Roland Heinz Nabielek wrote:
