How do I disable the Right Click function on the mouse???


I am making a Kiosk set up using SuSE 9.0 & KDE 3.1. Is there a way to completely disable the Right Click function for the mouse? I only want the users to be able to left click on anything.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks for the response

I tried the optionin the Control Center, it only affects the right click on the DESKTOP, not for anything else like the kick panel or of you right click on an Icon.

Thanks Again,

Steve

Look under the mouse section of your XF86Config (or xorgconfig if you're on a system using xorg)... IIRC, there's a spot where you tell X the number of buttons the mouse has... set it to "1".

Oh, and if the line doesn't exist yet, just add in the section for your mouse device
Option "Buttons" "1"

You got it !!!!

I had tried different changes to the XF86 before but those changes didn't fix the problem & in some cases, changing the file for the pointer would prevent KDE from opening at all.

Just added the Button option & thats all I needed.

Thanks Very Much !

Steve
