This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig44E3833F349CF881F9617931 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have three questions about the touchpad on my laptop: 1) Simulate three buttons: When using my laptop at my desk, I use a USB-mouse with three buttons. When I leave my desk, I unplug the extra mouse, and take my laptop with me, often without turning it off. Then, later, the click-both-buttons-at-once to simulate a middle button click does do work anymore. The touchpad has only two buttons. Any thoughts? 2) Swap mouse buttons: When I use the touchpad, I use my right hand. And my hand is a little tilted, so when i use my index finger on the touchpad itself, my right thumb rests on the right mouse button. It feels very natural to press this button, but in order to press the left one, I need to rotate my hand in a very uncomfortable way to get my thumb on the left button. Could I switch the buttons on the touchpad, and leave the USB-mouse untouched? 3) Simulate scroll wheel: Could I configure the touchpad to simulate the scroll wheel in some way? On some Windows-computers, I've seen that you could slide your finger along the rightmost edge of the touchpad to simulate scrolling. And on Macs, it seems you could use two fingers in the middle of the touchpad to accomplish the same effect. How do I do this on FreeBSD/Xorg?
