emulation of threee button mouse not working
Hi, I'm having problems with the three button mouse emulation feature. My OS is Mac X Leopard and I turned on the "emulate three button" mouse feature in X11. But that does not seem to work. My version of Chimera is 1.2509. Is there any other setting I should change? Thanks for your help. Geeta Narlikar
Hi Geeta, The Mac X11 3-button mouse emulation preference setting apparently does not take effect until you quit and restart X11. After doing this it worked for me using Mac OS 10.5 and Chimera 1.2509 and 1.2540 (X11 versions). I'm using X11 version 2.1.1 which is the version that comes with Leopard. Elaine Meng tells me that with a newer X11 version 2.3 from the Xquartz project the 3-button emulation does not work. Tom Geeta Narlikar wrote:

Hi Geeta, One solution is to try using the Mac Aqua version of Chimera. In that case you don't have to worry about setting some preference, the 3- button emulation just works. You could just name the Aqua version of Chimera something else (I named mine Chimera-aqua.app instead of Chimera.app) if you want to have both versions and easily switch between them.
