I have been working on my mouse problem for weeks with almost no progress. I have recently found what looks to be an answer to my problems, but I don't know exactly what to do. This is my first time using Linux at home. Here is the link to the solution:
----had to remove it because I don't have the points------- Will provide via IM if possible
I just need to know how to do it. I don't understand exactly what needs to be done here.

Thank you!!

why not type out the suggestion
sometimes it helps you to understand the solution

well that works for me

Sorry about that... lol guess I wasn't paying attention...

The site says to do this:
Add /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 4 5" to your init script in order to remap the buttons correctly.

There is also a file that has instructions for what looks to be xorg.conf file but says:
The mouse is configured in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (On Gentoo /etc/X11/XF86Config). Use your favourite editor or your distributions X-configuration frontend.

I'm so confused and I have been trying to find a solution for so long....

Thanks you for your help!!

why not paste the link to that website

I tried that.... The site will not let me because I do not have the "points" to post a link... They apparently do this to avoid spamming. I can send anyone the link via PM or IM. Thank you
