Microsoft Intellimouse Question

[dualcyclone]

Hi,

I've seen a thread under the same sort of name as this one on the "how i did it" page.

I just wanted to ask, I have a microsoft wireless intellimouse, and it have 2 buttons on the thumb-side; which, under windows i have used as copy and paste for years.

I just wanted to know how i edit the XF86Config file to make these buttons copy and paste?

Thanks

follow this how-to

except configure your window manager to do copy / paste instead of forward/back

I dont quite understand that post;

where you have written:

code:#remap the mouse pointer buttons
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

do i insert this into the XF86Config file? below the mouse identifier?

And why do i need to install that graphical keyboard in order to get the codes for copy and paste?

where do i also put the 'xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]" ' lines?

Thanks
