Hi folks
another little glitch i use an "Logitech Marble Mouse" Trackball but since installing Arch i have been unable to get the C&P working at all well , the only way i can get anything like is to copy to the clipboard switch app then paste from clipboard .
I am used to just grabing with the mouse and pasting straight to the relevent place without the un wanted extra steps i believe it need an mouse section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d but cant find any info on creating one any help please Hi Pete :)
for my Arch, using Xfce, C&P using the mouse wheel button is working by default. There are no settings for xorg.conf on my machine.
FWIW the xorg.conf entries might be
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
I guess to enable this you first need to install the package xf86-input-mouse.
Hth,
Ralf
