Adds mouse-emulation support to initscripts
This patch adds mouse-emulation support to initscripts.
If we're enabling it by default on pmac, why not just put it in /etc/sysctl.conf? Well, we could just put it in /etc/sysctl.conf too. For some reason Yellow Dog does it with an init script. There already exists platform-specific sysctl.conf files for sparc and s390, so adding a ppc version would fit right in. I'll ask the YellowDog folks for any comments on their design choices. No sence in exploring roads already taken. Dan Burcaw from Terra Soft says:
Being able to modify the mouse emulation 'keys' without
tweaking sysctl.conf. It is much easier for users to edit
a 'sysconfig' file or have a GUI write a 'sysconfig' file
than grok sysctl, IMO.
I suppose I agree with that. Depending on the model of keyboard and user
preferences, the Enter key, F12, F11, etc. may be used. So keeping this easily
configurable by the user would be a good thing.
Dan also said that the Terra Soft folks have not yet tried to push any of this
upstream yet.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux ppc; U;) Gecko/20030130 Description of problem: YellowDog Linux will configure the Linux kernel's mouse button emulation feature when a system boots. This is useful on many Macintosh computers whose mice have only one button. With YellowDog, one can configure various keyboard keys to act as mouse clicks using /etc/sysconfig/mouse-emulation. This is a very desirable feature as Red Hat begins support for Fedora because there is a lot of discussion of porting Red Hat's Fedora project to the Macintosh. Attached to this report you should find a patch that adds this feature to initscripts-7.41. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Note that the system does not configure mouse button emulation. Additional info:
