Logitech mouse and linux

[HURST]

Hi all

I have a little question regarding mouse button configuration.
I have a Logitech mouse and in XP I have logitech's software (setpoint) configured so the middle button copy the selected text or image to the clipboard (it works with files to).
I want to do the same in kubuntu. Have tried almost all suggestions found on google, but I can't get it to work. I'm enjoying the learning (first time I had to go "recovery mode" was due to this ;D ), but maybe some of you wilders linux users already has a working solution.

Thanks

Well, the default way of copying and pasting is to select something, then to go to where you want to paste it and middle click. It is really nice actually, and is default for almost any version of Xorg I know of. You may actually prefer it :P

There are actually two buffers for copy and pasting stuff in Xorg. The first one is the selection buffer for what you highlight with your mouse, and there is another one for using the windows like ctrl-c ctrl-v stuff, so there probably is a hack to get what you want to work, but I can't find it on a quick search of google.

Good luck setting it up your way though, and you could also try the ubuntu forums since there are some many people there someone may actually know this trivia type fact.

Cheers,
