single button mouse and Apple Keyboard II
I have a single button mouse and an old Apple Keyboard II. I had a much
nicer keyboard but I mixed them up when I borrowed someone's old Mac for
testing, and gave them back my nice keyboard by mistake, and then it
sort of disappeared.
So I only have one option key, on the left, and no function keys (no
F1-F12 keys). I can't find a way to emulate a three-button mouse.
I am running unstable with kernel 2.4.14 and the benh patch applied.
There are some messages about this in the archives:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/1999/debian-powerpc-199902/msg00119.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/1999/debian-powerpc-199903/msg00038.html
the second gives the solution of giving kernel arguments to use the F11
and F12 keys, but I don't have any.
I've tried entering various things into my XF86Config-4 file but nothing
helps.
I'm a bit clueless about keymaps and such, and I can't figure out how to
use xmodmap.
A local computer store had (last time I checked) nice brand-new adb
keyboards, but I won't be able to buy one for a while.
Does anyone still sell 3-button ADB mice?
My mac 8500 (an old world mac) does not have USB. Perhaps I will
install a USB card eventually and then I can get a keyboard and mouse
that could work on my PC's as well. Is there a particular USB card you
recommend? Warn against any?
Thanks,
