Mouseemu is a tool to emulate middle click, right click, wheel and block trackpad input. It's mainly useful for PPC owners with one-button Apple mice. It requires kernel 2.6 with uinput. The tgz is at http://geekounet.org/powerbook/files/mouseemu.tar.gz The init script at http://colino.net/tmp/mouseemu.init
I stumbled upon this tool on the web and found it quite useful for my one-button PowerBook Touchpad, so I've made an ebuild for it. There are several different kernel-patches floating around to accomplish especially mousewheel-emulation, but I think doing this in userspace is the way to go. If the functionality of this tool is expanded a bit more (e.g. mousewheel emulation by using one side of the touchpad, option to use Ctrl-Click for right mouse button like in OS X etc.) we could even integrate it in powerprefs since it is really useful for PPC laptops. Attached please find the app-laptop/mouseemu-0.12.ebuild. Also included is a patch (mouseemu-0.12-fix.diff) to have a /etc/mouseemu.conf file for configuration. The ebuild also installs an init script at /etc/init.d/mouseemu so you can start mouseemu when booting. Have fun, DiskBreaker

ping: any news on this?
in cvs
I had to edit the makefile to read: all: gcc -Wall -I/usr/src/linux/include -g -o mouseemu mouseemu.c for it to work, im not sure how its going in cvs
Sorry about that last comment, i didnt even bother to look at the patch
