Problems w/mouse 3 buttons emulation on Win2000
Helo, Sorry, but I am experiencing some problems trying to use the Oberon System 3 (Release 2.3) on a Thinkpad 600 equiped with Windows 2000 (service pack 3). There is happening a misfunctioning with the mouse 3 buttons emulation schemme (as I am using a traditional mouse with 2 buttons). When I press CTRL + left botton of the mouse, the screens continuously blinks. I can not move, resize or use Copy & Paste facilities. I allready have tried to find documents over the install directories or via internet but I am not successfull. I will apreciate a lot if someone can get me some help (maybe the solution is quite simples as edit a configuration Text file - but how?), thanks in advance Fernando ps: could be the problem be related with mouse driver for IBM/Thinkpad? .............................

Thanks a lot, but unfortunately this suggestion don't work too. I think that I will have to find out how to configure the S3 to work with multiple windows in the Windows2000 desktop, so I will be able to use the Copy & Paste and Resize facilities from the Windows2000 environment not from S3. Someone could bring me another suggestion? It's still dificult to use Oberon System 3 on Windows 2000. thanks in advance, Fernando Passold
Hi together According my experience it should be now possible to work well with a two button mouse when the Oberon version is recent enough. The left button has then partially the function of the middle button which depends on the hitted gadget. In texts changes the behaviour from the first to the second hit. However the best solution is to get a cheap 3 button mouse (when possible PS2) Regards Josef Sedlacek Fernando Passold wrote:

Ok.. I finally solve my problem after bought a cheap mouse, but it was not really the problem. XOberon only began to works properly after I change TrackPoint properties from ThinkPad Configuration. And now even the "3th button" than becomes with Thinkpad (a blue one) emulates the 3th button for Xoberon.... But any way I would be glad if someone could tell me how to configure the XOberon viewers to work with multiple viewers and not as only one tile desktop. Thanks, Fernando Passold
