Good day;

Having a time getting cut and paste to work in a new FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-p1 installation

I am using a newly rebuilt world and kernel that I cvsup'd yesterday but, I was not able to get it
going with GENERIC either.

I have built xclipboard from ports and am using fluxbox ver. 1.1.1 and Eterm ver. 0.9.5. I think I should be able to cut and paste between a brower - Firefox - and Eterm and vice-versa.
I haven't been able to glean the appropriate information from the handbook.

T.I.A.

How are you cutting and pasting?

1) Highlight text with left mouse, paste with middle mouse

or

2) Highlight text with left mouse, paste with shift-insert

What exactly is not working?

Could be a mouse problem but difficult to tell.


Regards,

Thank You, I'm still working on it but you gave me a heads-up. I think my trackball is broke.

Michael
