Re: 4.0.2 for pismo - open problems
Hi, thanks very much for the info, as it helped me greatly in making X
work on my pismo. Regarding 3 button emulation, I found the following info
very helpful, but I could not find the link from where I originally got the
content.
Anyway, you can copy the file I attached at the end, save it as
/etc/init.d/mouse_buttons, make it executable and do ln -s
/etc/init.d/mouse_buttons /etc/rcS.d/mouse_buttons. Now ftn-11 and ftn-12
emulate the 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons, respectively.
Now my US keyboard is behaving like a german one... I hope someone finds out
about the fix.
