   is there anybody who can tell me how to invert the buttons of the
   mouse under X?

>From xmodmap(1):

       Many pointers are designed such that the first  button  is
       pressed  using the index finger of the right hand.  People
       who are left-handed frequently find that it is  more  com-
       fortable to reverse the button codes that get generated so
       that the primary button is pressed using the index  finger
       of  the  left  hand.   This  could  be  done on a 3 button
       pointer as follows:

            %  xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
