 |
|
Hi there.
I just installed gentoo on a Tatung TTAB510 tablet. I got the pen working and I can click on things. But I can't "right click" on things because the pen only has one single button.
Is there any way around that problem?
Thanks in advance.

How did you right click in windows?
and what windows manager/desktop enviorment are you using?
EG. gnome, fluxbox etc.
because I think it would be possible to assign some key on your keyboard to rightclick maybe? or maybe double tapping etc? im not sure about the 1st being very practical and I actually have no idea about how to get the 2nd one working.
Anyone think that you could assign double tapping the pen as right clicking? |

I was thinking of using fluxbox on this 1 GHz cpu.
I, too, was thinking about using a key on the tablet for right clicking, but I have no idea about how to get THAT working.

Well in fluxbox key binding is simple, but im not sure if you can bind right clicking to a key?
if you do decide to install flux then there are guides on getting it working at [url]gentoo.org[/url] and [url]gentoo-wiki.com[/url]
and they both (well i think they do?) include a part about keybinding.
But as far as I'm aware using a key wouldnt that be an inconvienience?
and im sure you can use keybinding in any WM/DE so don't make that the deciding factor.
when you say you cant right click, how do you know this? is it from the livecd?
Ducky.
[EDIT] its www.gento-wiki.com not .org, sorry for any confussion that may have been caused  [/EDIT] |

I have not seen it done elsewhere. It's just that when I'm in fluxbox and using only the pen, I can't open any applications with the "left click". The button on the pen is like a left click.
Using a key on the tablet to emulate a right click would be satisfactory.
