2. How do you get around the fact that the ibook only has one
button? Many of the window managers have menus set to
right/left/double clicks.
The method I use on my TiBook is to activate the kernel's mouse
button emulation feature and assign mouse buttons 2 and 3 to keys on
the keyboard. In my case, I have assigned them F10 & F11. To do
this, add the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation=1
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode=68
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode=87
You may need to fiddle a bit to find the right keycodes matching the
keys you want to assign as mouse buttons. I'd give more detailed
instructions, but I forgot how I did it once I got it working. I
think I may have used the showkey utility.
