Mouse
I can't change the mouse for left-handed people
Symptoms
I can't change the mouse for left-handed people using the computer.
Explanation
You need to install the xorg-xmodmap
package to configure the mouse buttons.
Solution
Install the xorg-xmodmap
package. In a terminal, type:
# tazpkg -gi xorg-xmodmap
To configure the mouse for left-handed:
# xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
To configure the mouse for right-handed:
# xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3"
To check the configuration of your mouse:
# xmodmap -pp
To make the changes permanent for your user, create a new file called xmodmap.desktop
in the ~/.config/autostart
directory with the following content:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Left hand mouse Exec=xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" NotShowIn=XFCE;Razor;LXDE;
Logout and Login to X session and the mouse buttons are configured for left-handed people.
To make the changes permanent for all users at the same time, repeat the procedure above as root, creating a new xmodmap.desktop
file in the /etc/xdg/autostart
directory.
