Hello Xperts, I have a 3-button trackball and like the EmulateWheel option, but if I do Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" then the middle button can't be used for any purpose other than toggling the wheel emulation when it's held. If I hold shift and press num lock, then I can use the numeric keypad to generate mouse clicks, but you can only generate button 1, button 2, and button 3 events. I would like to be able to put something in my .Xmodmap (or whatever) so that there is keyboard key that emulates mouse button 4. That way, I can put Option "EmulateWheelButton" "4" into my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 so that when I press and hold my keyboard key that does button 4, I can move the trackball wheel up and down to do scrolling in applications like Mozilla. Thanks in advance for any advice. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your site http://webhosting.yahoo.com
