Aight...so I used to be a GNOMEr, but thsoe days are long gone. And since I finally have had to use X, I need to know how to copy and paste shizzle. I heard that for lightweight wm's there's a proggie that runs in the background as a "mouse server" or something, but have been unable to find it. A link would be cool.

Love,
dogn00dles

p.s.- I know it's a dumb question!

highlight the text with your mouse, then middle click where you want the text!

The program you're looking for is gpm. Check your processes to see if you have it up and running. It is a pretty easy install if you don't have it.

Try clicking the right and left mouse button at the same time to paste. You don't need gpm to cut and paste in X. You will need it if you want that ability in CLI.
