Mouse & Keyboard settings on Debian for PowerPC
Anyone know what files need to be tweaked to get my one-button Mac mouse to emulate a three-button one, and what exactly needs to be tweaked? Same goes for getting my (Backspace/"delete") and "del" keys working the way I want. This is on a PowerMac 4400/200, extended keyboard, standard one-button mouse. Thanks! -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Mouse & Keyboard settings on Debian for PowerPC
to get your keymap working, uncomment the lines under powermac in /etc/X11/XModmap and add "exec xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap &" to your .xinitrc file. I emulate a three button mouse by passing "adb_buttons=103,55" to the kernel at boot (via quik or BootX) which uses the command key as button two and F11 as button three. You can modify these values to suit your needs. Note: This is using the FBDev xserver, XPmac is different, and can be changed on the command line, but I don't remember the particulars. Tom

For Xpmac, Xpmac.rev10 -h gives you the options to change. And putting them to the end of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (where the [servers] section is, works if you run the Gnome Display Manager. Btw, I now have my font path fixed too! Since xpmac does not read the XF86Config file, I had to add the -fp unix/:7100 to gdm.conf to use the font server (and thus now I am able to add fonts to the font servers catalog.. phew.. finally everything seems to work fine :) Thanks for everyone who threw in the bits and pieces of info :) My gdm.conf now has this: 8<- cut --- [servers] #0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7 # <- the old line 0=/usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -middlekey 111 -rightkey 119 -nooptionmouse -once dpms +kb -fp unix/:7100 # this second line starts up :1 on vt8 # 1=/usr/bin/X11/X vt8 # <- stuff that also was there before.. --- cut ->8 Note that the above must be on one line even though it wraps here. So what this does? -middlekey 111 -rightkey 119 Use F11 and F12 (on Pismo) for mousebuttons. Check your keycode by running xev and pressing keys on its window, reading the output from the terminal. You get KeyPress and KeyRelease events, the value for "keycode NNN" gives you the code you add to the -middlekey and -rightkey -options. -nooptionmouse I dont want to press Option-F12 to get mousebutton3. Too clunky :) -once This kills the server after I logout. Gdm will restart it for you anyway. dpms This should turn on VESA power manangement, but it doesnt seem to work in my Pismo..? +kb Enable the X Keyboard Extension - Someone had this in his example, so I kept it. Seems to work anyway :) -fp unix/:7100 This sets the FontPath to use the font server. If you install the xfs-xtt package, you can also use Truetype fonts in your system. Add the font paths to the font servers config file, in debian it is /etc/X11/xfs/config I hope this was useful for someone :) Tuomas -- .---> [EMAIL PROTECTED] .|\,/| [EMAIL PROTECTED] <-. +> www.helixcode.com - ()-@@ , tigert.gimp.org <+ `-> art director , `--')/ a gimp artist <---'

How, by holding it and klicking the mouse, or is the command key always mapped to button 3 now? Andre
Re: Mouse & Keyboard settings on Debian for PowerPC
Andre, With my setup, just pressing the command key is equivalent to depressing the second button of the mouse - no mouse click required. Very few, if any, X apps that I use map anything to the command key, whereas many use control and option. You can pass the keycode for any key you wish to the kernel and emulate this behaviour. Tom

Well, (X)emacs depends on the Modifier key. One could use ESC instead, but this doens't seem a real alternative (for me). Option-Click works as the middle button here; but is there really no way to use Command-Click as button3? Andre
