Right mouse functionality is missing

Right mouse functionality is missing

[hg9456]

Hello mailing list participants,
while using logitech cordless mouse
with ps/2 adapter I am not able
to use some functionality of
different aplications both remote
and local. So I would like to ask
some questions:
1) Is this type of mouse supported at all?
2) Must the functionality of the mouse be enabled
   somehow and is not enabled per default?
3) Do you need some additional information and how
   can I provide it?

With Best Regards
Ariel Burbaickij

Dear Ariel,

Cygwin/X supports all mice which Windows supports.

Normal setting is sufficient.  However, your mouse driver
may provide additional functionalities which prevent
Cygwin/X from detecting correct buttons.

You can do a good test with xev.  It should print
ButtonPress/ButtonRelease events with 'button' field
set to 3 for the right mouse button.

'cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv' shows the version number of
your Cygwin/X installation.  'xmodmap -pp' shows button
mapping in Cygwin/X.

Hope this helps.
