Have you tried the relevant Xpmac options? > Another thing is the mouse button emulation--doesn't work at all. It should work on (left) option 2/3 (not option F2/F3). I had a problem using different keys. Though I had mouse button emulation on the consoles via BootX arguments and using gpm, on F9/F10 (103,108), the same buttons didn't work with X. I solved this using xev (apt-get install xcontrib); the X-keycodes are different from the console codes here (F9/F10 is 109,117). > Even > stranger is that sometimes it seems like the buttons are being pressed > "magically"--as if the computer thought a button was being held down when > it wasn't. A friend of mine who was new to PBs had this with MacOS. It turned out he sometimes touched the trackpad with his palm, which was interpreted as a single klick or made the mouse jump around. >Other times, the mouse button doesn't do anything--nothing > will happen when I click the button. (All of this is of course w/Xpmac). May be window manager related. Sawmill is sometimes kinda sluggish; flwm is not. > BTW, this is (I think) the Wallstreet PB, Mach64 card.
