middle mouse button
Aloone_Jonez:
I've always thrown mouses out because they always stop working after a while, anyway perhapps the first two button mouse was an MS mouse.
Jack2000:
Mine first was a Compaq
adn now a Benq one ;)
[whats up with the Q-s ?]
Pathos:
the -2button parameter for X11 is the workaround that emulates a middle button click when you press both buttons.
How many laptop mouses come with a middle button ?
from wikipedia : The American Heritage Dictionary of English Language, Fourth Edition, states that "computer mice" and "computer mouses" are both proper plural forms for "computer mouse." "Mice" is the generally accepted plural term.

I do think it is pretty lame needing a 3 button mouse for fluxbox. I though Linux was supposed to be good for old harware too.
Even more annoying when you are using a laptop, as they tend to not have a middle mouse button and just have a scroller button. I think you could change them in Winblowz but not helping here.
You have got a valid point though, as none of my PS2 mice have a third button, the only mice I have that have a middle mouse button are the ones that are USB and of course, they are all fairly new.

I use fluxbox and never use the third button ... it only brings up workspaces right ? I don't use workspaces ... I use tabs instead (allmost all programs I run are tabbed ... only OpenOffice isn't)
