Center-button scrolling and third button

[dodik]

Hi,

I'd like to use both functionnality said in the subject :

- the center-button scrolling to scroll in a browser for example
- the third button for copy/paste or open links in a new tab in firefox for example

I edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to put :

Option "EmulateWheel"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

but I can only use the center-button scrolling functionnality. How can I use both ?

Thanks in advance for tour help

That functionality is in the xorg cvs, and will be in the next release (>6.8.2). The option will be called "EmulateWheelTimeout". Short clicks on the middle button will then produce the middle click, and click+hold lets you scroll.

Either compile on your own or wait for the next release
