The left button is button 1.

The right button is button 2.

__normally__ right is Button3.

Code:

	while (1) 
	{	
		while (!done && XPending(disp)) 
		{
			XNextEvent(disp, &ev);

			switch (ev.type) 
			{
				case MotionNotify://left button select to do something..

				case ButtonRelease:
				case ButtonPress:
				{
					switch (ev.xbutton.button)
					{
						case Button1://left
						case Button2://middle
						case Button3://right
						case Button4://wheel up
						case Button5://whell down
