The left and right arrow keys, in conjunction with the option key, are


used for emulation of the second and third mouse buttons. This seems to


conflict with the up and down arrow keys under X, but a simple fix=20

exists:

okay, i did this, but the up and down arrow keys do not work, until I
get a prompt in X and type "xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc". My question is, why
wasn't .xinitrc read/executed/whatever? I am using tcsh, by the way,
would that make a difference? <<shrug>

Also, I have an apple keyboard II, where the option key and the arrow
keys are pretty far away from each other, to the point of almost
needing two hands.  How can I change this setting? Unless the command
key is used in X for something else, I'd like to use command-R for
middle button, and command-T for right button. i looked up some stuff
in the man pages, but i figured i needed "xev" to do this, and this did
not come with the standard distribution, and i didn't have any luck
finding it on NetBSD/Amiga.

This is also nit-picking, but are there any copy-cut-paste commands in
X? i remember dt having them, and they were fairly useful.

I am using the March95 xserver, and figured i should upgrade to
possibly alleviate some of the problems mentioned above. I downloaded
both the 960127 and the 950912 xservers, but had problems getting them
to run. The error messages scrolled by so fast, I couldn't read them.=20
Any idea what these messages could have been? I think I saw one being
about a device not configured.

Would this have anything to do with me running NetBSD 1.2 GENERIC#1
kernel?

I'd appreciate any help; I hope I haven't worn out my welcome by asking
too many questions :-\

thanks!
