Hi Jon
XWin.0.log says I have 5 mouse buttons. But its lying. I just have 2
mouse pad buttons... really. :(
Here is my call:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe --login -c "xinit -- -scrollbars -ac
-clipboard -silent-dup-error -emulate3buttons 100 -unixkill"
I tried from reboot and it still says I have a mouse with 5 buttons.
It seems to me, Windows logs that I had a 5 button mouse at one time and
keeps thinking that I still do. So it sends that info to XWin which in
turn disables my explicit call, thinking that since 5 != 2, I don't need
it. (Even if I have 5 mouse buttons I still want to be able to click with
two buttons at the same time to activate middle button. The reason is I
want both of my computers to behave consistently.)
Anyway it seems you can't trust Windows...
