+This is an Xorg evdev driver option, see man evdev (Emulate3Buttons). I
+thought it could be configured with drakxtools but can't find it now.

+
+Section &quot;InputClass&quot;
+ Identifier &quot;mice&quot;
+ MatchIsPointer &quot;True&quot;
+ Option &quot;Emulate3Buttons&quot; &quot;True&quot;
+EndSection
+
+but I have not tested this so it may not work. My mouse has 3 real buttons
+so I don't need this feature (:

+We need a printerdrake maintainer to look at such problems.
+

+</I>
+Basically, yes. You may run into dependency problems but if you manage to
+install such missing packages from mdv 2010.1/2010.2 without depedency
+issues it's safe. Qt3 is available so you should be able to use the mageia
+package for that. If no 'new package' requests for these packages are in
+bugzilla you should create them.
