RE: Basic question X - ways to skin a ... mouse
I think I've got it wrong and Brian Dessent is right. The util is the intellimouse driver. Which is why I could not find it at Logitech. On the other hand, I advise you to keep your double-click assignment for cygwin as well, and get accustomed to dual-click emulating double-click. The reason being, when I sat on a sun-sparc or aix using their mouse, the native double-click action is effortless. However, connecting to those stations using cygwin/x or reflection/x or eXceed, I need to click extremely fast to effect a double-click. Of course, I could configure xp to widen the interval of double-click recognition. Doing that, you would realise that a second in cygwin/x (reflection & eXceed as well) is but a thousand years on XP desktop. Most unix visual applications require double- clicking, and even Motif's own dtfile. X-Free people ought to look into the difference between XP mouse interval and remote unix interval. Is this an X-Free issue or a cygwin/x issue? I tend to think it's a cygwin issue. X-Free is normally used on Linux without having a user shift between MSWin and XWin. Is there a worster place in this country than Worcester, Mass. (besides Gary, Indiana)? Is there a more beautiful place than Bar Habor, Maine? One is heaven, the other h#ll. But having to vacillate between the two on a weekly basis is purgatory. Is there better loyalty to a football club than to ManchU, besides L'pool? One was pure elegance, the other pure brute. But having had to vacillate between the two had been pure torture. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herbert Eppel Sent: Thu, September 29, 2005 12:12 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Basic question X - ways to skin a ... mouse > Gotta go.

RE: Basic question X - ways to skin a ... mouse
Choices you have: 1. Hope you have a logitech mouse. Mine is a Dell Scroll with no "Logitech" logo, but it seems to work with Logitech driver. I have another, a Kensington which refuses to work with the util. Download their driver and mouse ctrl-panel util which allows you to exclude/include apps. I couldn't find it some time ago. Don't know if they still have it. 2. Place your finger on the slit between the two buttons just above the tail (cable) of the mouse, just after the wheel. You need only one finger to press both buttons. X. I have a tablet PC. ... what have I got to do to make (Elton John's refrain in background) a middle mouse click when using the pen, if I do install cygwin on it. Would xp/tablet even detect cygwin input areas as text input areas - so that it would pop up a handwriting input+conversion pad. Got to try it. Middle button seems to be the hardest click ... it's sad, so sad ... Gotta go. G'nite. -Original Message- Just one more thing for now: I think I may find it a little difficult to get used to pressing the left and right mouse button simultaneously. Is there an alternative (without losing my double-click function for the scroll wheel button)?

Don't know if they still have it. Thanks for this. Yes, I have a Logitech mouse, and I might look for that utility. 2. Place your finger on the slit between the two buttons just above the tail (cable) of the mouse, just after the wheel. You need only one finger to press both buttons. Thanks for the tip, but my fingers are quite short and I think I'll probably find it easier to get used to the left/right combo than reaching over the wheel :-) X.
