    Not sure what the default installation provides (I haven't tried an iBook) but if you launch the 'Shiftclick' commodity shift + LMB will work as RMB. You can configure shiftclick to use any qualifier key in combination with the LMB (the user interface is pretty straightforward).

    Shiftclick can be found in sys:utilities/commodities/shiftclick. Just double-click the icon to launch.

    If you want it to run Shiftclick every time you boot the iBook, just drag it into the sys:wbstartup drawer.

    Regards

    Shiftclick is the tool you need. It allows you to map a qualifier to the left mouse button. e.g. Control.

    During installation it is available by clicking on the little mouse in the top left edge of the construction image.

    Thanks, it works fine. Do I need to move the Shiftclick to WBStartup and if yes, could i disable the menu that pops up every time (the key assignement)?

    Yes you can copy it to SYS:WBStartup.

    To avoid the popup window, edit the icon's information and add the following tooltype:
    CX_POPUP=NO
    That should work for any existing commodity.

    If your iBook has an ADB-trackpad (12" 1.2GHz or slower, 14" 1.33GHz or slower) than yes shiftclick is what you need.

    If you have a USB-trackpad (12" 1.33Ghz, 14" 1.42GHz) you just need to put 2 fingers on the trackpad while clicking that 1 button (and there is an extra icon in preferences->system for it).

    iScroll2 make the "two fingers" method working on ADB trackpad on MacOSX. Is it possible, technically, to make the same soft for MorphOS ? It'll be a great feature ;-)

    /me like trackpad, but without "two fingers", it's not useable.
