I've been running woody with a custom built benh kernel for a couple weeks
now on my tibook, but never haven't been bothered by not being able to
figure but how to right click, or highlight & paste text (unix style) yet.

Well tonight it finally bothered me enough to set about fixing it.  After
some digging in the archives & from sysctl -a, I see my button3 and
button2 are (probably stock) 100 & 97, respectively.
mouse_button_emulation looks like it is set to no by default, but that's
easy enough to fix...  After banging on keys & key combos for a while in
showkey, I found function-cntrl & function-option to be my second & third
buttons (not real obvious, but I like...)

Problem is, hitting function-[cntrl|option] on a hyperlink or on my
desktop in E don't seem to do anything.  Where am I going wrong?

echoing 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_did/mouse_button_emulation lets me past
highlighted text with function-cntrl-option, but still no right
clicking...

Thanks in advance,
-Mark
