Description-en: Emulate mouse buttons and mouse wheel
Mouseemu is a daemon to emulate mouse buttons on trackpads
with only one button. It lets you:
- emulate middle and right click
- emulate mouse wheel
- block trackpad while typing
.
It was initially developed for Apple PowerBooks
and iBooks, but it may be useful on other architectures
as well.
.
This program only works when booting a 2.6 kernel because
it uses the new uinput interface to emulate the mouse.
