From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Having grown up with Macs, I'm hooked on the one button mouse. I haven't found anyway to use an Apple one button mouse with linux on an i386. Perhaps there's a way to get mac_hid on an i386 system? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Hmm doesn't really need reproduction. Additional info:
I very much doubt that the upstream kernel would implement the mac_hid stuff on non ppc architectures - the correct place to persue that is lkml. You may be able to achieve something you want using xmodmap or bind keys to switch pointer order or just use X's mouse keys function http://www.faqs.org/faqs/x-faq/part2/section-19.html Or possibly the gnome accessibility stuff might do it too: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/proposals/accessxapplet.html You should be able to google to be able to use your setup, but as it's not a recomended configuration s-c-mouse will not configure anything like this for you.
An additional link demonstrating xmodmap in conjunction with wm key bindings, differences with your setup should be : http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.solaris.x86/browse_thread/thread/9794da50294a4916/80f05e5726c7cf20?tvc=2#80f05e5726c7cf20 Also you may look at the fakekeys implementation in xdarwin and try and port that to xfree86 http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/darwinEvents.c?rev=1.3&view=auto
