System name:		w20-575-35.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 8.3.25Tue
Display type:		

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		windowmaker

What were you trying to do?
paste using the mouse

What's wrong:
its impossible since it is only a 2 button mouse

What should have happened:
you should have 3 button mouse emulation enbabled in xfree86 so that pasting is possible in X

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
uncomment "emulate3buttons" in /etc/X11/XF86Config

also, is it me, or is the video extremely slow on the new linux athena boxes... the old sparcs are faster at moving windows around, but these machines are running at 550 mhz. 

thanks
