Does anyone know how to emulate a middle-button on the touchpad-integrated mouse (my terminology) on this machine? I have tried hitting the two mouse-clicks (want of a better term) at the same time to no avail. Any other possibilities?
There used to be an option you could put into your xorg.conf ... Emulate3Buttons or something like that. You could look into that and try to figure out which settings work with your hardware. I have a remnant here (which is commented out):
# Section "InputDevice" # Identifier "Mouse0" # Driver "mouse" # Option "Protocol" "auto" # # Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" # Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" # Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" # Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" # Option "11" # Option "EmulateWheel" "True" # Option "EmulateWheelButton" "3" # Option "EmulateWheelClickToo" "0" # EndSection
That must have been for a Logitech Trackman Marble FX. It gives you an idea what it can look like. You might want to start with something like:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection
... after looking at man xinput.
