Description Hans de Goede 2000-07-24 21:44:08 UTC

mouseconfig doesn't autoselect emulate 3 buttons for 2 button mice, like
anaconda in graphical mode does, so this is sorta inconsistent (afaik
textmode install uses mouseconfig to setup the mouse, if it just looks
the same, then this needs to be entered against text-anaconda too)

Comment 1 David Lawrence 2000-07-25 16:32:49 UTC

Confirmed that also when using mouseconfig post-install from the command line,
the --emulthree option causes no change in the Emulate Three Buttons check box.
Normal behaviour would be to check the box automatically if this option is
given. This may be related to this other issue.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1

Comment 3 Glen Foster 2000-08-03 21:21:33 UTC

Does this problem still exist in Pinstripe?

Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-04 15:16:55 UTC

I'll fix this.

Comment 5 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-06 23:27:14 UTC

*** Bug 13076 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-06 23:31:09 UTC

The --emulthree option was for kickstart....

Anyway, mouseconfig now respects it for interactive mode as well.

Comment 7 Hans de Goede 2000-08-11 22:15:16 UTC

Hmm this doesn't work for me with RC1, reopen.

I have 2 problems now:
-with autoselect 3 buttons I mean in interactive mode change mousetype from
Generic PS2 to Generic PS2 3 buttons and then the emu 3 button automagilcy
toggles of. So this changes whne I do arrow up / down through the list. I did
notice that it does select the right initial value for it depending on the
current mouse.
- --emulthree seems to be ginored in interactive mode (overridden by the above
  auto initial value ?!)

Reopen ?!

Comment 8 Hans de Goede 2000-08-21 09:58:50 UTC

Ehm when I said reopen?! I didn't actual reopen it leaving that call to you, but
some kinda reaction like this will / won't be fixed an reopening the bug if you
plan on fixing it would be nice.
