Hey All - 
Finding myself with a spare Powerbook G4, I installed Ubuntu on it. After
getting annoyed enough times with my fingers reaching for ALT keys and
finding 'Command (open apple)' keys, I started playing with xmodmap a
little. Now my Command-Keys are ALT and my ALT/Option is 'Super' - that's
all find and dandy. My next goal is to figure out how to give myself a
right-mouse button. On this keyboard there is this displayed 'enter' key;
it's the num_pad enter - in case you turn num_lock on I guess, it's there,
right below the crooked and useless laptop version of a numpad. To me, it's
no more convenient than the standard enter/return key, so I think he'll make
a good candidate for a right mouse button. 
I used 'xev' to find out the keycode of that key - it's 108. I tried: 
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Pointer_Button3"
...but that didn't seem to work. When I hit that key, nothing really happens
(I say "nothing really", because the only thing I've noticed is that if a
terminal window has focus, the cursor disappears when I hit that key).

Any suggestions?

- Jason
