Description Clement Tiong 2006-02-02 23:55:08 UTC

I couldn't find any info from SuSE site on how to right-click with single button Mac mouse. The standard CTRL-Click but did not work in SLES10 on the Mac as right-click. Neither do Alt/Opt and CMD/Apple keys. So, if there's a secret key combination, I don't what it is. 

Without able to right click, I couldn't eject the CD/DVD from the drive. The "Eject" button on the Mac keyboard doesn't work. Neither does the commandline "eject". So, with single button mouse, I couldn't eject the CD.

Is having an USB PC two buttons mouse required to right-click on the SLES for PPC?

Comment 1 Matthias Fruehauf 2006-04-25 12:51:23 UTC

well, using F11 and F12 should do the trick

Comment 2 Clement Tiong 2006-05-02 20:11:48 UTC

F12 will pop a menu but it's opening up a generic menu which doesn't have "Eject".

For example, move the highlight using the arrow keys on the keyboard to the CD/DVD drive icon, press F12, pops up a menu but the popped menu looks like if I right-click using a mouse on the desktop. So, that still does not work because I still can't "right-click" using the keyboard.

F11 doesn't seemed to do anything.

Comment 3 Clement Tiong 2006-05-02 20:12:23 UTC

This is on Beta 11 PPC version.

Comment 4 Clement Tiong 2006-05-02 20:13:21 UTC

I meant, I can use F12 to "right-click" the CD/DVD icon properties that has "Eject" option.

Comment 5 Clement Tiong 2006-05-02 20:14:06 UTC

Okay, I can't type right.

What I really meant was "I cannot use F12 to "right-click" the CD/DVD icon properties that has "Eject" option.

Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2006-05-17 16:08:07 UTC

there is some debian package named mouseemu, which will probably allow such key combos. nothing for sles10.

Comment 7 Matthias Fruehauf 2007-02-08 15:50:27 UTC

Given it is not a real SLES10 issue, can we close it now?

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2007-08-23 20:24:16 UTC

This is not a X.Org issue at all.

Comment 9 Olaf Hering 2007-09-26 14:11:54 UTC

The current Debian mousemu package works ok on 32bit systems. But the kernel/userland ioctl interface for input devices is a real mess. As a result, a 32bit binary does not work on a 64bit kernel.

Comment 10 Olaf Hering 2007-10-04 09:54:52 UTC

the new mouseemu package must be build as ppc.rpm and as ppc64.rpm
both mouseemu.rpm packages must be on all upcoming install media.

Comment 11 Ruediger Oertel 2007-10-12 00:19:15 UTC

the next factory update should have a mouseemu.ppc64.rpm
