Only on realizing that moused -3 made X11's Emulate3Buttons redundant did this work. It might help a newbie or other low clue density space (l)user if somebody documents in either X or sysmouse/moused that if you do the -3 trick, the (synthetic) mouse events sent to X *are* 3 button enabled already. doh! cheers -George To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
