Hmm... I've been using a 3-button Microsoft USB Intellimouse with PyMOL just fine, and the middle mouse button is fully functional under 10.2.1. I didn't need to do any kind of configuration, it just worked. Thus, I am flummoxed as to why it doesn't work for you as well! 1. Are you using the latest beta version (0.84)? 2. How are you launching PyMOL? 3. Does 'PyMOL' appear in the menu bar? 4. Does an external GUI appear? (The last 2 questions are to insure that PyMOL is getting properly initialized). Since I can't reproduce the problem, it's going to be tough for me to solve it. Does anyone else have an idea what might be causing this problem? How widespread is the lack of middle-button function on a Mac? Cheers, Warren
