Hi there,
I am "brand new" here and since yesterday with UBUNTU... everything works fine, even sound and printer...:-) but one thing I miss badly... the Control+mouse click will not work (my mouse has only one button).

With desktop icons it's easy: highlight them and hit Shift+F10, but it's getting annoying to eject a CD without the Control+mouse click function...
Does anyone please can tell me how to activate this, so that I can use the Control key instead of the right mouse button?
I am on Mac G3 and the original keyboard with only 97 keys....

Thank you in advance,
Angela

F11 and F12 are middle and right click, though it may depend on your keyboard. do you have an 'fn' key (i do on a powerbook.)

i am not sure if it possible to map ctrl + click to right click.

i would recomend a two button mouse. also one with a scroll wheel cuts down the amount of mousing that you need to do.
