Cool How to change the mouse buttons in Knoppix


Hello, if I want to have a left-handed mouse (i.e. switch the primary and secondary buttons) in Knoppix how do I do this. (Yes, I realize I will have to do it every time I boot, that's fine)

Edit: Knoppix 6.?, kernel 2.6.28 if it helps

Try it:

Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 6 7"
Disclaimer: I don't use Knoppix so I don't know if it'll work.
