 I got an old Mac from a collegue at work. Apple decided not to
 support those devices anymore, anyway, they date back to 2006.

+I think, it's a pitty, because this Mac has a solid case, a pretty fast
 64-bit processor (sorry Archlinux32, no test machine for you) and
 a graphic chip which is not melting away like in later models..

 ### Mouse buttons
 
-TODO: load synaptic, configure at your gusto (double, triple finger clicks),
-for opening tabs in a browser, doing some X copy paste etc.
-TODO: Ctrl/Meta-Modifier shift if you want context menues
+Managers might like to use only one mouse. Also keyboard fanatics may
+be happy by just switching off the mousepad completly.
+
+The one button mouse is a disaster for people being used to Xorg copy-
+paste or Oberon enthusiasts used to three buttons.
+
+Two finger scrolling is nice, but per default only for up and down.
+I enable it also to left and right. Besides, the keyboard is missing
+PageUp, PageDown keys, which is a usability nightmare when you want to
+scroll bigger source code files or web pages (yes, I know there is Fn-Page,
+but having Ctrl, Alt, Meta and Fn all on the same spot doesn't make it
+easier to find the right one).
+
+Change */etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf* as follows to your likings:
+```
+Section "InputClass"
+	Identifier "Touchpad Catchall"
+	Driver "synaptics"
+	MatchIsTouchpad "on"
+	Option "TapButton1" "0"
+	Option "TapButton2" "3"
+	Option "TapButton3" "2"
+	Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
+	Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
+	Option "ClickFinger2" = 0
+	Option "ClickFinger3" = 0
+EndSection
+```
+
+*TabButton1=1* only leads to all kind of frantic behaviour, because I
+touch the touchpad by accident. *ClickButton* and *TapButton* for the
+second and third button are just completly useless. Either no menu
+appears for TapButton or a menu appears for ClickFinger, but I can no
+longer to copy-pastes.
+
+The default modifiers Ctrl, Alt, Meta don't do anything with the mouse
+or just very weird stuff, like Alt-2-fingers jumps to the beginning of
+my text.
+
+For now, I choose TapButtons for copy-paste, as this is the function
+I need most often.
+
+TODO: For mouse button 2 and three I changed the modifiers for Ctrl and Alt.
