There is a package called "MouseEmu" available for many distributions, including Debian and, as far as I can trust the results provided by Google, Gentoo. Mouseemu requires the kernel to be compiled with "User level driver support". If you're oin a PowerBook, you can assign a key to MouseEmu that makes any move on the trackpad to be interpreted as a mouse scrollweel. I used MouseEmu to emulate a 2nd and 3rd button. Als an alternative one can compile a decent kernel with "Support for mouse button 2+3 emulation", to be found in the "Macintosh device driver"-section. This provides three files in /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/ that can be used to enable/disable emulation, and to configure the keyboard scancode used for both buttons. After I got used to this method I rather liked it. Christian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
