Henri,
Sorry for the delay but I've now tested Squeak in Mandrake and these are the results.
I'm running Mandrake 8.2 on a Pentium Pro 200 with 256MB memory. I installed Mandrake straight from CD with no modifications or Kernel tweaking.
The Squeak VM I'm using is from here:
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.1beta/linux-unix/Squeak3.1-x86linux-VM.tar.gz
I put it in /usr/share/Squeak
Doing squeak -version produces:
i686-pc-linux-gnu 3.0 #9 XShm Thu May 17 10:02:25 EDT 2001 gcc egcs-2.91.66
Linux citrus.advantive.com 2.2.16-3 #1 Mon Jun 19 18:49:25 EDT 2000 i686 unknown
default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.0/*.so
Using various images gives the following results:
The keyboard [UK variety] is fine with all of these images. The mouse [3 button] is as follows:
Using 3.2gamma 4857 + Zurgle:
Left: Desktop Menu
Middle: Personal Menu
Right: Halo
Using 3.2gamma 4881 + Zurgle:
As above
Using 3.3alpha - 4857:
Left: Find Window
Middle: Find Window
Right: Halo
Ctrl-Left: World Menu
Ctrl-Middle: World Menu
Ctrl-Right: World Menu
Right-Ctrl + Middle Button: Personal Menu [That is the Ctrl key on the right hand side of the keyboard]
Using 3.3alpha - 4881
Mouse Buttons as per 3.2gamma 4857 + Zurgle
I hope this helps. I'm certainly no Squeak expert but if there's anything else I can check for you then let me know.
Best regards
Chris
