okay. I figured this out after several hours of digging through web pages. with the new layer, you can tell the proc file system to emulate the mouse buttons, but you have to use the linux keymaps. there's a link from benh's page to someone else's page that explains this. the practical upshot is that if you execute 'echo "87" > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode" it'll turn f11 into mouse button 2, and if you use 88 instead of 87 and 3 instead of 2, it'll turn f12 into button three. I don't know if this requires the kernel options to be passed, though I just found out that from the list that I should NOT be using a semicolon to separate kernel arguments. but anyway. this is the little known info (I assume) that I could not find mentioned in any of the lists.
all I have left to do is get the airport card working. benh's driver compiles fine, but I keep getting "airport.o: unresolved symbol isa_io_base" -- _____________________________________________ Christopher Sanner | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone :703-409-1144 | Fax :703-889-1060 Linux SysAdmin to WinStar Telecommunications through VistaRMS Vice President and Co-Founder MasonLUG finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for pgp key and geek code block Linux: Because rebooting is for adding new hardware
