I'm aware of that, but still it doesn't work. Does cut&paste from X11 to windows work? Some mouse drivers map the middle mouse button to special events and don't send the "middle button pressed" message. Please send the complete XWin.log output. bye ago NP: Bella Morte - Awake -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Cut and paste in X is done in different ways depending on the application. In most cases (xterm, mozilla and others) it is sufficient to mark text to "cut" it and click the middle mouse button to paste it. Thanks. I'm aware of that, but still it doesn't work. kj

Cut and paste in X is done in different ways depending on the application. In most cases (xterm, mozilla and others) it is sufficient to mark text to "cut" it and click the middle mouse button to paste it. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
