I recently upgraded to unstable (in fact, I wiped the hard drive and
partitioned more room for linux) so now I have the luxury of XFree86
4.2, however my mouse button emulation is not working.
I tried setting:
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation=1
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode=88
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode=125
but at boot a message displays saying "Setting kernel variables.error:
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/[etc.] is an unknown key. mouse_button_emulation
is then reset to 0, and the other two values are at their default as
well. I've entered those lines in sysctl.conf as well as trying echo 88
> mouse_button2_keycode for example, but nothing seems to work.
This is a very perplexing problem and I can find no mention of anything
like this in the archives, so if anyone has any insight it would be
greatly appreciated.
thanks!
