3297.0. "XDMCP lost right mouse btn function" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Mark Sowards) Wed May 28 1997 21:11

I'm running NT 4.0 (Alpha) and using eXcursion V3.0 to access an Alpha
2100a running Digital UNIX 4.0.  I have the XDMCP option selected and
the 'Allow foreign X windows manager' option selected,  I can connect 
fine.  I do have two problems though; occasionally an Xwindow process
will not terminate completely.  The bare bones of the X window remain;
no process is left on the host machine, but the window won't go away.
Second, the CDE right mouse button functions don't work.  CDE itself
seems to work fine; all four default screens are individually accessible,
but the front panel is not redisplayed when switching screns and none
of the right mouse button menus are accessible.  Is there any thing I 
can set to fix these probelms?

    Fixed in the upcoming patch release.  See 3293 for more info.

    If it is a 2 button mouse, go to the eXcursion control panel "mouse"
    tab an select the other mouse button to emulate.  If it is MB2 select
    MB3 and vice versa.

3297.2Got it working, but is it right?NNTPD::"[email protected]"Mark SowardsThu May 29 1997 21:4810
I have a three button mouse, and the center button(MB@) worked fine for all
cut and
paste functions.  The Right mouse button didn't work.  I looked a the mouse
control
options and they seem ok.

   I got it working by pressing both the MB1 and MB3 at the same time.  This
does
work fine, but is it right; is there possibly something else I can set?

    Check to see that Windows is using a 3 button-aware mouse driver.  If
    it is a Digital mouse, chances are the Logitech PS/2 driver would be a
    good choice.  I've found that sometimes by default you'll end up with a
    driver that is inappropriate for 3 button mice.

I'm on NT intel and all 3 buttons work on my mouse.

I jut checked my system control panel under "mouse" and went
into "general" tab and it says

	Logitech PS/2 Port Mouse

So it sounds like that's the driver you should use.  (I seem to
recall putting this driver in when my buttons weren't working).

By the way, when you do put that driver in, you may have to check
some other settings, both in system control panel and excursion
control panel, and make sure you're not telling the system to
"emulate" the other buttons anymore.
