[9fans] drawterm + scroll button mouse on IBM T42

[Kenji Okamoto]

Ok, I'm going to use drawterm with WinXT on my new IBM T42.

My notebook is using wireless network (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG),
and I got success to login through this device to an our CPU server.
Then, I ran acme, yes, no problem... However, I have no middle button
control.   How I can do this.

I have two kinds of point device, (1) IBM pointing rod with two buttons+scroll
buttons and (2) two button mouse pad.   I'm using the first device.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, I suppose this wireless device is not supported yet.  Am I correct?

On my thinkpad (R40), if have to disable the touchpad in the bios
in order to make the third button work.

In T42, the third button is working as it is expected with the default
setting.   (I don't like touchpad.☺)

Inspired by your suggestion, I searched into WinXP mouse setting,
and found the way to make scroll function off.   It solved my problem.
Now I can use scroll button as middole button.

Thanks a lot!

turn off the damned mouse pad (in the bios). you get middle button back 
then.

i don't believe you have to do that.
i've posted instructions for hacking around this
in the xp registry a handful of times.  search the
archives.

sorry, I did not read fast enough. These were linux instructions ...

maybe there is a way in linux to get 3 buttons + glide, but I annoyed with 
the glide pad anyway and turned it off.

Sorry, I haven't payed any attention to WinXP, because I'd never
believed I may be one of that user.☺   Now, I'm forced to...

SHIFT + right button is your friend.

i saw a cool, expensive, small, VAIO laptop today with a 3 button mouse, but it had a pointing stick :(

Stick, yes, T42 has this, and the middle button is for scroll, I don't know
what it is called though.   I want to use this scroll button as the ordinal
middle button.

By the way, I tried to use marsv through this wireless LAN (56M),
and found it's fast enough to show them to students while in
my lecture...  The remaining problem is it does reach only short
distance.☺   Our construction has square shape like below:

A=====
  ||        ||
  ||        || B
  =====

It doesn't reach from A to B in the same floor, sigh.
