If your head hurts when you bang it against the wall, dont bang it against the wall... in other words, use microsoft .. i do and i have a logitech 3 button. >Unfortunately it is a two button mouse! > >Can anyone tell me why the logitech mouse misbehaves? >Also, how can i use a two button mouse to emulate three buttons (say >have the second button function as the middle button when double clicked, >or along with the esc key)? ahh.. well you have to use Emulate3Button (or something like that look at the man page for X386).
