Other Help Topics :: Switching the mouse from right to left
This may sound a bit wierd. But I have two computers going side by side and I usually use both at the same time. What I need to do, besides growing two more arms, lol, is switch the mouse from a right handed mouse to a left handed one. I am not sure how to do this.

wwwolf3004, If you can grow two more arms, that would be your best bet. Many times I wish I had more that the normal two, and I'm sure it would come in handy.
If that isn't an option, try this: create a file in your /Home/dsl directory called .Xmodmap and put the following line into it:
pointer 3 2 1 4 5
and run the command
xmodmap .Xmodmap
That worked for me, but I had to change it back to "pointer 1 2 3 4 5" before the swapped buttons drove me crazy. You can put that line into your .xinitrc file (before fluxbox) if you are remastering or are running from a hard drive.
