I just click both buttons at once. Works fine.

Works fine under X ;) but I can't do that in text mode because when I click the current line is highlighted and nothing happened after !

I'm wainting your help

Cheers

You need to disable 3 button emulation in X and enable it in moused(8).

If your X is compiled with HAL, see here.

If not compiled with HAL, add this to your mouse input section of xorg.conf:

Code:
Option		"Emulate3Buttons" "false"

If you're using a PS/2 mouse, add to rc.conf:

Code:
moused_flags="-3"

Or if a USB mouse:

Code:
moused_ums0_flags="-3"

Restart X. Restart moused:

Code:
/etc/rc.d/moused restart

Or for a USB mouse:

Code:
/etc/rc.d/moused restart ums0

Highlight it and ctrl-v to paste? Sometimes you have to copy, ctrl-c, first.

Ctrl-c won't work on a console or x-term. Ctrl-c will send the break signal.

Works fine in Windows (perhaps GNU/Linux) but not in Unix or Unix-like. ;)
 
Setti, hitting two spots simultaneously on my Synaptics TouchPad works as a mouse's two-button paste action. Not sure though if your model can do the same. ;)

Paste works fine in X by hitting mouse-1 and mouse-2 simultaneously. however I want to do that in text mode console ? it's possible :\ else M-<inser>.
