Switch middle and right buttons on tablet pen


I recently got my tablet working (2-3 days ago) on my Gateway M275. Even more recently, like this morning, i discovered that the button on the pen is suppose to make all taps right-clicks as long as it is depressed is actually performing middle-clicks!

The fix is probably just a some kind of tweak in the xorg.conf but I've searched off and on all day in vain.


could someone point me to the right place? Or better yet tell me exactly what i need to do.

Thanks

Hehehe. Just my luck....found it right after making this post.

I had been searching along the lines of "linux tablet pen buttons switching". got it with "linux xorg switch mouse button". To think it took me a day....I'm slow...

added the next line to the stylus section of xorg.conf
Option "Button2" "3"

Issue resolved.
