Bug#203740: xbase-clients: [xmodmap] xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5" does not work

[Kristis Makris <mkgnu@gmx.net>]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody2
Severity: normal

I am trying to remap the mouse keys for a left-handed mouse, and the following does not work:


$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"

This works on a RH 6.2 machine. What's up ?
