<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Problem (just solved below): how to emulate three
buttons mouse with a two buttons mouse (eg portable computer, etc...). The
middle button getting emulated with a click on both buttons
together.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot to all the contributors, Buchan Milne,
Lionel Bargeot, Michel Wurtz, Mose, Jérôme and special thanks to Glynn
Clements who put me closer to the good track.</FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>XFree86 in the CygWin environment does not use
config files but get the options encapsulated in the startxwin.bat file
(/usr/</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat). Just edit
startxwin.bat (I am not longer used with unix commands, at home with no
books, thus edited it with the MS/DOS edit command! a shame... I promise to
make room for Linux on the hard disk ASAP).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In startxwin.bat, a range of options are just
recalled after: </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>... and then save the startxwin.bat file. The
timeout has been set at 500 milliseconds after some trials (the default
50 was too short and not usable on my HP compaq nx7000 computer. Getting
old?).</FONT></DIV>
