Xmonobut & Xkeymouse

Would it be possible to have these compiled for debian armel?

Both would be useful

I'm not sure both would be useful.  I recommend using keylaunch and xmodmap to get center and right buttons from your stylus.  I have it set up so that Ctrl-1 gives button 1 at a mouse click, Ctrl-2 gives....  It is a little awkward, but IMO less so than xmonobut.  xmonobut has a really tiny icon, and it is nearly impossible to consistently change buttons.  

As to how I did this, the instructions are somewhere on this forum.  I also have all of the buttons below the keyboard working (what I posted, for titchy, swaps one pair of buttons with cortez' eabi kernel that I use now, but that will be clear once you test it out).

Both xmonobut and xkeymouse are packaged and uploaded.

do these work?

I ask because xmonobut, which is *occasionally* useful, is broken on angstrom/gpe for 3x00 series.

thanks

I use xbindkeys and xkeymouse to control the special keys.

actually, xmonobut can be incredibly handy if you *don't* use it in the default manner. "xmonobut -k 67" will make it run so if you hold down the zaurus's "Calendar" button while tapping, you get a right click. pressing, releasing, pressing and holing calendar (like double clicking a mouse) makes it a middle click instead. There is a -m flag so you can assign a dedicated middle button key, but it just seems to make xmonobut glitchy if i use it. if you want to use a different key to modify your clicks, use xev to find out the keycode and do xmonobut -k keycode. hope this helps someone...

This is really handy!  Then I can map the mouse right button to the [Fn] key and free up the round applications keys!  Thank you!

you're quite welcome  but i'd have thought mapping it to the Fn key would interfere with the Fn key's ability to get at symbols like <, >, :, +, etc?
