I have a Compaq Presario 2700T and instead of a mouse wheel it has a
four-way scroll button. Is there a way to get this to act as a mouse wheel?
And perhaps to have the left and right buttons on it act as a middle click?
(Since they forgot to make a third mouse button...)
Thanks,

Hi everybody,
I know it's bit off-topic, but I'm going to buy a notebook (and of
course install Debian), and I can't believe that AMD's PowerNow is not
supported with Linux!? To me, this actually just leaves Intel-Processors
as a reasonable choice. (Am I right assuming SpeedStep _is_ supported?)

I'm in the middle of my first attempt to get Debian running on a laptop
and have encountered a few problems. I'm using Gnome, the default
window manager, and Woody.

As I understand it, speed-step is not supported because it's a typical
kludge for Windows. Linux doesn't need it because it idles when not busy
instead of using busy loops.
