Bug#396463: Installation Report




Comment: I use the mouse left handed. Is it possible to change the
mouse buttons order someway before installation begins?

It seems that directfb supports setting this in /etc/directfbrc.
From the manpage:
[no-]lefty Swaps left and right mouse buttons. Useful for left-handers.

I guess we could add a boot parameter for this.

Could you confirm if this actually works by following the following this procedure:
- boot the installer with 'installgui BOOT_DEBUG=3'
- at the first debug shell:
  - 'nano /etc/directfbrc'
  - add a new line containing "lefty" (without the quotes)
- type exit twice to exit debug shells
Works perfectly. I sugest this could be a boot parameter.

I'm not exactly a left-handed person but my right-hand tendons argue for this after 15 years clicking a mouse.
Left-handed users all around the world too ;)

Best regards
Flavio
