Bug#181579: xfree86-common: FAQ.gz more on left-handed use
Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: wishlist
First, thank you for organizing and maintaining one of the nicest FAQ
for the package.
Your following section:
===============================================
*) How do I set up the mouse buttons for left-handed use?
...
This depends on how many buttons your mouse has. If it has two or three, I
have an answer. If it has more than three, and/or a wheel, I'd appreciate
submissions from lefties with such mice who have gotten them reconfigured.
... (You describe xmodmap based approach)
================================================
I think it may be also useful to mention "gpm" based approach if X is
configured to use /dev/gpmdata. I think "-B" option should help
lefties' problem solved on both console or X at the same time. Of
course, this should be done through "append" line in "/etc/gpm.conf".
Even if you do not like gpm, please consider to put a comment to
indicate solution for this problem can be solved using alternative
approach which is outside of X.
Cheers.
