Hello all
I've searched for a brief time -- regrettably time is in short supply for me lately -- and I'm as yet unable to find a solution to my dilemma.
I recently was tinkering with AMD64 Debian on a spare system, and when my AMD AthlonXP (i586) system bit the dust, the AMD64 system became my only decent workable machine.
However, since first install on that machine, middle mouse button does absolutely nothing. This is extremely irritating, when I have grown so dependent on that middle-button paste feature.
I have found numerous threads on "how do I disable" the feature, most of them pointing to xmodmap or "ButtonMapping" on the xorg.conf, but if I understand correctly xmodmap is something of a TSR where the default middle-button-paste feature is built in to X11, and the ButtonMapping trick did nothing for me.
My current xorg.conf is at the end of the post.
I love Linux and can't stand using Windows, but odd inconsistencies between versions of Linux -- even between platforms of the same distro -- is one of the things that I don't miss when I'm using other systems.
The main reason I need this now is that I prefer using a specific terminal (ETerm) because of its default settings being so close to what I need. However, it has no copy-paste option. I need this, though, because when my Evolution crashes -- AGAIN -- with that same error about gdk-painter line 111 and assertions failing -- AGAIN -- well, it's much easier to copy and paste by highlighting the error and middle-clicking in Google search...
I may just have to move to another terminal proggy for now. In the meantime, if anyone can solve this, I would be VERY much obliged.
Many thanks in advance,
CJ Chitwood
