I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude XT2 with an external Dell 3 button (scroll wheel) optical mouse. I have Cygwin package "cygwin-1.7.16-1" installed with the packages in the user guide suggested for Xwin capability and SSH. My intention for use is to SSH to a Ubuntu boxes and mostly run Xemacs to program. My main problem is not being able to get the middle click to be recognized in the Xwindows, including xterm local, as a paste.
I have tried a different combination of software, namely Xming and Putty, but with no greater success. I also tried an older version of Cygwin from 2010, again to no success. The mouse middle button is recognized by the windows operating system and is in the "auto scroll" mode under the mouse settings. The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xterm). But the paste does not work with the middle click. I tried a different mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow to recognize a 5th mouse button (unassigned and threw an error in xemacs) when the middle click was set to "zoom" instead of autoscroll, but alas no paste. So, I have scoured as much google as I can follow and found more than my fair share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double click (left and right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but nothing much to help me diagnose why the middle button does paste with my three button mouse.
What further information or tests may I try to figure out what is at the source of this problem? I have attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log files as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only the ones suggested in the setup). I assume that it is something to do with the Windows 7 operating system, as I have not had the problem in the past on other laptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with other desktops. I have reached the limits of my computing knowledge and would like to inquire as to the community's knowledge of how the program treats the chain of events from middle click to xemacs paste, a chain I am not intimately familiar.
Regards,
TL
P.S. The PDF was not liked in the email so the packages are below (in addition to the default):
. xorg-server
. xinit
. xorg-docs
. X-start-menu-icons
. openssh
. inetutils or rsh

The mouse middle button is recognized by the windows operating system and is in the "auto scroll" mode under the mouse settings. The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xterm). But the paste does not work with the middle click. I tried a different mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow to recognize a 5th mouse button (unassigned and threw an error in xemacs) when the middle click was set to "zoom" instead of autoscroll, but alas no paste. So, I have scoured as much google as I can follow and found more than my fair share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double click (left and right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but nothing much to help me diagnose why the middle button does paste with my three button mous

I have attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log files as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only the ones suggested in the setup). I assume that it is something to do with the Windows 7 operating system, as I have not had the problem in the past on other laptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with other desktops. I have reached the limits of my computing knowledge and would like to inquire as to the community's knowledge of how the program treats the chain of events from middle click to xemacs paste, a chain I am not intimately familiar.

Can you try starting the XServer with the -emulate3buttons command-line
option? Then you should be able to paste using the L+R mouse buttons clicked
simultaneously.
My mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button (it is a mechanical switch
used to enable/disable the ratcheting on the scroll wheel), so this may
not be a good solution for you.
Good luck.

I guess that the problem here isn't Windows 7, but that you have some extra
mouse or touchpad software installed which tries to do something 'helpful'
like scrolling the window, rather than sending button press/release events
when the middle button is clicked.
(I don't have anything mentioning "auto scroll" in the control panel mouse
applet on W7)
You need to turn off, uninstall or instruct that software to pass middle
button clicks to the X server without meddling.

Jon,
You are brilliant! Thank you. I completely forgot about the pre-installed "SetPoint" software that came from Dell. As soon as I disabled that... BAM, worked like a charm. Thank you and I apologize for having overlooked something so simple.

I guess that the problem here isn't Windows 7, but that you have some extra mouse or touchpad software installed which tries to do something 'helpful' like scrolling the window, rather than sending button press/release events when the middle button is clicked.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude XT2 with an external Dell 3 button (scroll wheel) optical mouse. I have Cygwin package "cygwin-1.7.16-1" installed with the packages in the user guide suggested for Xwin capability and SSH. My intention for use is to SSH to a Ubuntu boxes and mostly run Xemacs to program. My main problem is not being able to get the middle click to be recognized in the Xwindows, including xterm local, as a paste.
I have tried a different combination of software, namely Xming and Putty, but with no greater success. I also tried an older version of Cygwin from 2010, again to no success. The mouse middle button is recognized by the windows operating system and is in the "auto scroll" mode under the mouse settings. The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xterm). But the paste does not work with the middle click. I tried a different mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow to recognize a 5th mouse button (unassigned and threw an error in xemacs) when the middle click was set to "zoom" instead of autoscroll, but alas no paste. So, I have scoured as much google as I can follow and found more than my fair share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double click (left and right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but nothing much to help me diagnose why the middle button does paste with my three button mouse.
What further information or tests may I try to figure out what is at the source of this problem? I have attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log files as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only the ones suggested in the setup). I assume that it is something to do with the Windows 7 operating system, as I have not had the problem in the past on other laptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with other desktops. I have reached the limits of my computing knowledge and would like to inquire as to the community's knowledge of how the program treats the chain of events from middle click to xemacs paste, a chain I am not intimately familiar.

I apologize. I mentioned that I had found the option, but failed to report that I had done it and it worked. Yes, the emulate3button works just fine. However, I was hoping to find some information on diagnosing why the 3 button does not work. For now, it is an excellent work-around, thank you. It has been a bit annoying as my muscle memory remembers third button (middle/scroll click) for paste, but I will get over it.
Does anyone have a thought on what I may be able to check with regards to why my middle click does not work in Cygwin/X win?

Can you try starting the XServer with the -emulate3buttons command-line option? Then you should be able to paste using the L+R mouse buttons clicked simultaneously.
My mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button (it is a mechanical switch used to enable/disable the ratcheting on the scroll wheel), so this may not be a good solution for you.
Good luck.
