[Visualpython-users] no mouse in VPython under Fink

[Joe H. <hea...@gm...>]

I've just built visual-py25 under Fink under OS X 10.5.1 with all the
Xquartz updates applied. I get no trackpad functionality at all, but my USB
mouse (Logitech VX Nano) works just fine. Am I missing something?

Ruth Chabay ran the production version of VPython on 10.5 without mouse
problems. The insuperable problem she encountered was the problems with
the graphics driver on recent MacBook Pros, which affects all OpenGL
programs including VPython and Second Life and still has not been
addressed by Apple.

For me it works as expected (*). If you run xev, does it show the 
trackpad events as you expect them, i.e. alt-click = button2 and 
cmd-click = button3? If not, you need to look at your X11 preferences.

(*) I have never managed to do anything reasonable with mouse (or 
trackbad) button 1 in vpython, except make the scene disappear sideways 
or into the depths of the universe.
