Re: right-click problem

[J S]

Hi,

I'm still stuck on this despite going through the archives - I can't find a 
similar problem.
On Exceed 6.2, the submenus work if I right-click the mouse.
However in XFree86 and Exceed 7.1, they don't. (These are all with fresh 
installs).
I have even tried running the app on Linux but still have the same problem.

Not that I want to run the app on Exceed, but I just wonder what Exceed 6.2 
is doing that the others aren't?

JS.

I did actually find a similar problem in the archives 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00313.html but it doesn't 
sound like they got a solution.

Just to add a bit more information to this:

$ xmodmap -pp
There are 3 pointer buttons defined.

    Physical        Button
     Button          Code
        1              1
        2              2
        3              3

The application runs from a SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise machine.

I found a page about mapping mouse buttons in XFree86 using xkbset:

http://www2.neweb.ne.jp/wd/fbm/kbd/kbd-e.html

and I downloaded the xkbset source and it seemed to compile okay. But when I 
try to run it I get :

$ xkbset q
Non-existent or incompatible XKB library version

Any ideas?

JS.

Trust me! That was the first thing I checked!
The right mouse click seems to be doing something though because when I 
click over the icon the image is indented.

Did you turn off num-lock?

Re: right-click problem

[Thomas Chadwick]

Try turning off Num Lock and/or Caps Lock and see if that makes a 
difference.

Re: right-click problem

[J S]

Checked the archives but haven't had much luck so far.
The application is something called EMC Symmetrix Console and it runs on 
Solaris.
I have checked the problem on a Linux box as well and get the same as 
cygwin-xfree so presumably this is an XFree problem.
However what I don't understand is why the right-click mouse menu pops up in 
Exceed (no special configuration has been done), but not in XFree.

You're gonna have to specify which application causes trouble and/or 
what type of operating system it is running on.  I assume that this is a 
problem with a remote application since we have seen reports of this 
before.  So, I guess you should search the mailing list archives as well.

right-click problem

[J S]

Hi,

I have an X-app which when I right click on some of the icons produces a 
menu in Exceed, but in XFree doesn't - however if I run any other apps where 
I need to right click the mouse to get a menu up, it does work. Could anyone 
suggest how I might fix this problem please?

Thanks,

JS.
