Re: [Debian][OM2008][FSO] Found an easy solution for universal right- and middle-click
input-events was not installed in Debian, so I had to apt-get install input-utils. And then chmod +r /dev/input/event1 (because I want to use it as normal user). And it works now. Thanks.

Maybe a more elegant solution would be to write a small C program that will: - put a tray icon, - when icon is clicked, use XGrabPointer() to get the next click, - once got, ungrab pointer and send sytnetic X events ButtonPress and ButtonRelease that simulate a right-click This may be enhanced by showing a menu on a long click on the tray icon, and use that to simulate more events - middle-click, double-clicks, etc Anybody wishes to write such a program? :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Debian][OM2008][FSO] Found an easy solution for universal right- and middle-click
I am using a package called mousetweaks[1] wich does provide a onscreen menu for dwell click events. eg right click, drag click etc.. not sure if is in the debian repo for freerunner (reinstalling debian tommorrow) there is a package in debian lenny repo [2] azmodie Due to the speed of light being faster than the speed of sound people often look bright until they speak [1] http://live.gnome.org/Mousetweaks/Home [2] http://packages.debian.org/lenny/mousetweaks ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[Debian][OM2008][FSO] Found an easy solution for universal right- and middle-click
Hello, everybody! I think i found a universal (not only GTK) and easy (without special tslib drivers) solution that should work on any X-server. I just added to my fbpanel two icons to launch xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 2 3' and xmodmap -e 'pointer = 2 3 1' to switch ts to left-click and to middle-click respectively. Right-click can be added as well. But i can't figure what's the best place on the wiki to share this information. Can you suggest the appropriate place? The solution was inspired by the oesf.org forum.
