| 369517 | 2005-07-05 02:29:00 | I have installed FC4 on my PC along with Firefox. The issue I have is that in Windows I have it set-up so that middle-click on a tab closes it (I think this is default). In Gnome, however, when I middle-click on a tab I go to the last veiwed page. I'm sure (recalling from memory - I have fixed this before) it is an option in Gnome (e.g. Gnome has it set-up for something else). I think it is a place where you can define the behaviour of each mouse button. Cheers Mogwai |

| 369518 | 2005-07-05 02:39:00 | Does your middle-click work anywhere else? What about the scroll itself? These settings are defined in xorg.conf. Make sure you have selected to emulate 3 buttons. If this option is not listed, then just add it (as root) to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf yourself. You can copy the line from my example below: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"If you don't have scroll working either, then just add the ZAxisMapping line as well. |

| 369519 | 2005-07-05 02:51:00 | Hmm ... might of led you astray there. I think the emulate 3 buttons is so that you can click down on both the left and right buttons simultaneously to emulate a middle button click. Just tried that now and got the tab to close as well. Other than that, I'm not a Gnome user and I'm not sure if it has specified mouse behaviour elsewhere. Check under the System settings etc areas for mouse. |

| 369520 | 2005-07-05 02:53:00 | I have a three button wheel mouse which is working fine. Tried the idea of testing elsewhere. On the desktop it behaves like left-click. OOo it is paste. What I think I am looking for is an applet in Gnone which allows me to change the behaviour of each mouse button. |
