- icewm-1.2.6 mouse button swap
- Posted by Gil on October 17th, 2003
Greetings,
I'm left-handed. How do I swap the buttons on my mouse so I can use my
index finger to click things on the desktop like regular folks? I
looked in /usr/share/preferences and couldn't find the appropriate
line.
I'm using a two-buttom p/s MS mouse with 3-button emulation turned on.
My OS is RH8.

Didn't work Stephan. I didn't have a .xsession file, so I just made
one. Was that a mistake? Only other thing: Perhaps in XF86Config(there
was no XF86Config-4) I used tabs when I should have used spaces.
I'm going to follow up that link you gave for more info.
