Re: Middle mouse button / Logitech MX-700

Thanks Alex. I did indeed find something in the archives -- one written by you (which I am sorry to say did not help me), and another written by Harold.

Harold suggests that Logitech might be registering a new (USER-type) windows message for the middle button and suggested that the original poster do some detective work to see if that's the case, and if so then some code might be included in next Cygwin/X releases.

There was no continuation to that thread... I'll see if I can find something in MSDN or on Logitech's site, but I seriously doubt that they do that since I suspect that would "break" more than one Windows application.

Cheers,
Nitzan
