2006-09-09 10:35:09 effraie description The default way to emulate a three buttons mouse is to use touchs F11 & F12. that make the buttons very anti-ergonomic. an other way (i personally ever do that modification) is to use that lines in /etc/sysctl.conf: dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 97 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 100 that way we cant use touchpad with right hand and buttons with left hand, without breaking the arms...

2007-06-21 19:29:04 Micah Cowan None: statusexplanation Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you submit a specification for it. First check whether the idea is already registered <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs>, and if so, contact the specification's drafter about your ideas. Otherwise, you can start writing a spec yourself. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications>. You'll probably want to discuss it in forums first. Also, please note that what is ergonomic for right-handed users may be much less so for left-handed users. I'd recommend submitting a specification for a configuration manager that will handle such changes, without requiring the user to manually edit config files. I'm closing this bug out, as it's not so much a bug report as a feature request.
