Hi David, This option is available under the new input layer (2.2.18 and up on the mac I believe.)
All I needed to do to get things to work was : >echo "1" >/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation >echo "97" >/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode >echo "100" >/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode and try it out. Note: keycode values may vary depending on the keyboard you are using. I own an external extended keyboard. Here the button 2 corresponds to right option key and button 3 corresponds to right control key. To make things more permanent after I was happy with this configuration, I added 3 lines to my /etc/sysctl.conf file : dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation=1 dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode=97 dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode=100 then : >sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf to make the changes effective. One last word: do yourself a favor and buy a 3-button mouse. The real thing is way easier to handle.
