synclient RTCornerButton=2 TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3

Watched today Jim Jarmusch’s The Limits of Control in Avrora. I like it. Maybe it’s not the best his film, but still it’s better than usual boring stuff. BTW, I found that sometimes in Avrora you can see original versions of the films without that annoying dubbing.
