Without "X" I can simply highlight some text and
button-2 puts it on the command line, neither
shift-insert nor the middle button works for that?
Curiously I simply upgraded a couple of other
computers from FC5 to 6 and did not have that
problem but this is a "clean" install, I even did
away with a vestigial Windows 98 install and picked
up 2 gigs more Linux space. Anyway that leads me
to believe that there's some application I haven't
installed?
It also has some strange printing problems but
that's another topic.
Tnx.
