Other Help Topics :: 3button emulation with xvesa

I want to thank the user who put together THIS website around old toshibas. I have a 430cdt with DSL running. The big help you gave me was the change to .xserverrc for 3 button emulation. I thought I would have to have xfree.dsl for that and that was not going to work real well on a frugal install with only 48mb ram. That doesn't leave much room for running additional apps.

If someone has an old toshiba (or any laptop for that matter) and want to try this, I was able to get 3button emulation with xvesa using this .xserverrc file.

Code Sample

exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -2button -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

Obviously you would need to change the resolution to match yours. All I had to do was remove all the existing mouse info and replace with '2button'.

This is sooooo much nicer.

Looks like the -mouse /dev/foobar is messing up the -2button that xsetup.sh puts in.

This will be fixed in the next release
