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
