Many thanks for your help.

Here is the configuration file that I made based on your suggestion:

        $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xorg-input-logitech.rules
        ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="lefthand_end"
        KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="lefthand_end"
       
        ATTRS{name}=="Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse", GOTO="lefthand"
        GOTO="lefthand_end"
       
        LABEL="lefthand"
       
        ENV{x11_options.ButtonMapping}="3 2 1"
       
        LABEL="lefthand_end"

Unfortunately it produced the same result as my previous config
with /etc/hal/fdi/policy/...
The mapping is ok for everyone except the evdev driver!


Here is an extract of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Mouse" (/dev/input/event5)

The last lines are ... disquieting....
