What were you trying to do?

Cut and paste between windows.

What's wrong:

Emulate3Buttons is not set up in XF86Config

What should have happened:

It should be set; I changed to root, modified XF86Config,
and restarted X. It's not a problem for me now, but when
other students try to cut and paste, or use the middle button,
they might have problems. Either the two button mice should be
replaced with 3 button mice, or there should be a little sticker
saying how to emulate the 3rd button.

Otherwise, everything is great.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
