qemu

[Anschel Schaffer-Cohen]

I have a Thinkpad E420, which has the standard nipplemouse + 3-button setup. On Windows and Linux, the middle button acts as a button if I tap it and a scroll wheel (controlled the nipple) if I hold it. When I run 9front in Qemu, however, I get neither behavior. Is there a way to make Qemu see it as a normal middle-button? 9front is obviously pretty unusable without one.

cant't remember having mouse problems with qemu. if middle button doesnt work,

you can hold shift and press right mouse button to emulate a middle mouse button.

xinput is the tool for the job here on linux, although it makes global modifications which you may not want. `xinput list` lists devices, use `xinput list-props <device>` to list the properties of your trackpoint. you'll find one of the properties is scroll-wheel emulation. you can turn it off with `xinput set-prop <device> <prop> <val>`. device and prop can be number or name, and `0` suffices to set a boolean to false.

This is obviously some strange usage of the
word "simple" that I was previously unaware of.
