mittfh Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Righteo, I just have one teething problem with 2009.1 left... Being a left hander, I have my mouse sitting on the left side of my keyboard, and configured to use left hand button layout (i.e. Secondary / Wheel / Primary). However, since installing 2009.1, it has adopted the right hand button layout (i.e. Primary / Wheel / Secondary), regardless of whether the orientation in Mouse Properties is set to left handes or right handed. I've even attempted remapping the buttons in xorg.conf - again, this has no effect at all (and I've since commented out the line). The mischievous rodent concerned is a Logitech USB optical mouse (M/N: M-BJ58) using the default "Any USB or PS/2 mouse" driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 xorg.conf is ignored regarding input devices in 2009.1. If you do want the xorg.conf settings being respected, you have to disable device hotplugging (evdev). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mittfh Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 xorg.conf is ignored regarding input devices in 2009.1. If you do want the xorg.conf settings being respected, you have to disable device hotplugging (evdev). OK, but why would it also ignore mouse orientation in "Mouse Preferences" (System --> Preferences --> Mouse)? It respects double click speed and the Ctrl key 'sonar', just not the button orientation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 This seems like a bug to me, and should be reported at qa.mandriva.com. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lardy Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Here's a workaround: $ vim ~/.bash_profile # Configure left-hand mouse due to Gnome bug xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
