Copy-Paste w/o ctrl+C and ctrl+V, but with mouse buttons: where did it go ... ?

[uteck]

I have not tested this, but I have used something similar to get an older
Intel graphics ship to work.  Change the driver as needed.

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
    Driver        "fglrx"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Mode        0666
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "0"
EndSection
