Hi,

When installing my RedHat Linux 7.1, I set up mouse as "Generic PS/2 mouse" and checked "emulate" box to make it work as a 3 key mouse when combined with "shift" key. But it doesn't work like that.

Could anyone tell me how to do use 2 key mouse on Linux command line to do copy and paste, just as that with 2nd Key of a 3 key mouse on Unix machine?

Thanks a lot in advance,

James Hao

On my RH 6.0 box, I copy by selecting the text and paste by right-clicking the mouse.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bill Freeman
