Once you've chosen the correct 3 button mouse and restarted X (after saving your configuration in XF86Setup of course), you should be able to use your middle mouse button normally. ``xplaces'' is probably also a very simple FTP from the ftp.x.org contrib site away, after which it should just build if you also installed the XFree86 programming kit (X32prog.tgz). -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
