Re: Microsoft mouse middle button not working with x11 OSX 10.5



Smells like a microsoft thing... but it might not be... is it working as expected with Terminal.app? If it isn't, then it's MS's fault. If it is, then I'd guess it's related to how we do X11 now. In that case, here's my thoughts:

When you say "with X11", what do you mean? How are you telling the preference pane what X11 is? /Applications/Utilities/X11.app is most certainly going to give incorrect results. /usr/X11/X11.app might work, and /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz might work as well. A few weeks ago, someone had a problem with an autocompletion application and X11. Telling the application to do its stuff with Xquartz rather than X11.app fixed it for that user. This might be the same issue.

If you can't choose Xquartz directly, I'd pester MS for a fix. If they tell you it's an Apple issue and not a MS issue, then there's not really anything we can easily do.

Hi there,

Option-left click works fine for middle button emulation (X11 emulation set via the preferences) but when I specify in the system preferences microsoft mouse driver (6.2.1 version) that X11 and Terminal should both use option-left click for the middle click it doesn't work (used to work in 10.4.11).

Any ideas how one fixes this or is it a microsoft mouse driver thing?

Microsoft laser mouse 6000 (USB wired version), and X11 1.2a11 implementation.

Thanks,
Ryan
