Hi all,
I work on a laptop and typically have a USB mouse plugged in. Each time I start an X session, I switch my mouse buttons with an:
Quote:
|
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
|
If I decide to unplug the mouse and work with the touchpad, I must always reverse the options again to pointer = 1 2 3, or else, while the right and the left button still work as a left-handed mouse, tapping, instead of acting like a left-click, gives a right-click menu.
My touchpad is listed as:
'ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
using the evdev driver.
I admit that I haven't played much with alternate xmodmap configurations, but I'd like to sort this out. It's even more confusing since I don't have a xorg.conf and, if I manually add one, despite having tried repeatedly, I can't make X-server to read it.
Any hints?
The relevant part of lshal output:

Thank you in advance
