Thank you. I completely forgot about the pre-installed= "SetPoint" software that came from Dell. As soon as I disabled that... BA= M, worked like a charm. Thank you and I apologize for having overlooked so= mething so simple. -T PREVIOUS REPLY: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----------------------------- 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 bu= tton clicks to the X server without meddling. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer ORIGINAL MESSAGE: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----------------------------- I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude XT2 with an extern= al Dell 3 button (scroll wheel) optical mouse. I have Cygwin package "cygw= in-1.7.16-1" installed with the packages in the user guide suggested for Xw= in capability and SSH. My intention for use is to SSH to a Ubuntu boxes an= d mostly run Xemacs to program. My main problem is not being able to get t= he 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, b= ut with no greater success. I also tried an older version of Cygwin from 2= 010, again to no success. The mouse middle button is recognized by the win= dows operating system and is in the "auto scroll" mode under the mouse sett= ings. The scroll functionality is recognized by the Xwindow (xemacs and xt= erm). But the paste does not work with the middle click. I tried a differ= ent mouse, a Logitec optical mouse, and was able to get the Xwindow to reco= gnize 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 fa= ir share of suggestions on how to emulate the 3rd button with a double clic= k (left and right) for track pads and other two button appliances, but noth= ing 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 so= urce of this problem? I have attached my cygcheck.out and my XWin.log file= s as well as the user guide I used to choose the packages (only the ones su= ggested in the setup). I assume that it is something to do with the Window= s 7 operating system, as I have not had the problem in the past on other la= ptops running Cygwin and external usb mice, nor with other desktops. I hav= e 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.
