Sorry for asking this question. I should have had a look at the FAQ first! Andreas

Hi,

How can I emulate a second/third mouse button on my AluBook 15? I would like to use the mouse buttons in X too.
My primary use is copy-paste. I would like to use gpm on the console.

I would be grateful for any hints.

Best regards
Andreas

Please post use the: Section "InputDevice" of your XF86Config
where the mouse is configured.

run the following command:
Code:
nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config

go to the part where your mouse is configured,
and copy and paste it.

mine looks like:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
Option "SendCoreEvents"   "true"
Option "Buttons" "3"
EndSection
