Mouse under X
Hello, usually Laptops have only two mouse buttons (near touchpad or something else). I noticed that under gpm at console the right button works as paste and I like this so far (don't know why - havn't explicitely done something to enforce this - but it's fine). Unfortunately under X this isn't the case. Under XF 3.3.? I used emulate3buttons but wasn't very happy about that. After installing XFree 4.0.2 from testing I noticed that the emulate3buttons option was not included in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 by the config utility called via debconf. Well, I think I can manage it using xf86config by hand, but this isn't the question. I wonder if there is any clue to use the damn Win-Keys on the keyboard to toggle mouse behaviour (I have heard Mac-Users do so to cope with the single mouse button - never used such a box). Did somebody the trick to get the following behaviour working: : mark +: paste Currently my Win-Keys do nothing at all (whished I would have bigger / keys and no Win-key at all :-( - but if they are here, why not using them). Kind regards Andreas.
Re: Mouse under X
Hello, I suspect you may not have the "correct" type of keyboard specified in your XF86Config file... I'm no expert on these new keyboards with the funny "Windows?" key, but I I remember seeing information a while back on the 102, versus 103, or whatever. This funny looking key might start working (or at least generating X keyboard events) if you try some of the other keyboard "types". When you used XFree 3, did the emulate 3D buttons work, and YOU were not happy with it, but it allowed paste, etc.? Or was the SYSTEM not happy with it?

I started with 104 keys (because a "normal" keyboard (tm) has 102 and than there are two keys more ...) but then X failed to start. So I switched back to 102. > When you used XFree 3, did the emulate 3D buttons work, and > YOU were not happy with it, but it allowed paste, etc.? Or > was the SYSTEM not happy with it? The system was happy and it worked. But you might know the situation if you are attempting to paste something and didn't pressed both keys at exactly the same time. Than you end with a new X-buffer and in this cases your original text vanished anywhere (perhaps a new case for a Murphy law). Kind regards Andreas.

I havn't followed this thread but this notice might help perhaps a little. After upgrading my perfectly working laptop (perfectly working = working with DHCP in the institute and working with fixed IP at home) I had very big problems. The lesser problem was that I had to type pump manually now in the institute (DHCP). The big problem was, that my network was unavailable at all at home. After several hours I found out that I have to do ifup lo eth0 manually (and do this explicitely - ifup -a didn't work either). If I did a /etc/init.d/networking start nothing happened, i.e. ifconfig showed no output. This is really strange and I havn't any explanation for this behaviour. Seems I have to do some research. Perhaps you try this manually and get the same? Kind regards Andreas.

Seems I have to do some research. How about /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart? For me, I need to call that whenever I want it to get a new ip address via dhcp.

The screen is 12" and 800x600. Anyone has similar setup and with successful Debian installation? Another question is the floppy and CD-ROM share one bay and are hot swappable.
