Sorry for the delayed reply -- have you solved this problem yet? Also, I'm sending this back to the list, since I think I've got a pretty good answer that others may like to see (at least in the archives). In the mouse capplet of the gnome control panel, I just see the "standard" left-handed or right-handed mouse option. So gnome does have some way of modifying the buttons, but doesn't let you do what you want. (Reminds me of windows...) Either that or it doesn't actually modify the buttons, just how they're interpreted with gnome apps (but not all X apps). I haven't tested it, so I don't know which it is. What happened with xmodmap? Just didn't change it at all? Any error messages? I'm just now looking at the xmodmap manpage. I see that xmodmap -pp should give you a list of the current "button mapping" (i.e. which physical buttons map to which button codes). It also looks like the correct syntax for the command I pointed you at earlier should really be this: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2" For me, that command complains because I have a wheel mouse (which counts as 5 buttons instead of 3). When I try this: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5" it works. Buttons 2 and 3 are switched, and everything else is as before. So you'll have to give it a mapping with exactly the number of physical buttons you have (or at least, that it thinks you have, which you can find out with xmodmap -pp). good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
