Hi Everyone,
I did some tests using xmodmap and xev to see what could be wrong and
this is what I've found:
Running xmodmap when right handed:
$xmodmap -pp
There are 5 pointer buttons defined.
Physical Button
Button Code
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
/* Switching to left-handed */
$xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"
There are 5 pointer buttons defined.
Physical Button
Button Code
1 3
2 2
3 1
4 4
5 5
/* Funny thing is... after switching the mouse buttons and running xterm
like:*/
$xterm -e xev
to see the mouse events, I found that Clicking with the button 1,
triggers two events:
1. ButtonPress event, , ..., , button 1
2. ButtonRelease event, , .., ..., button 3
and something similar happens with button 3:
1. ButtonPress event, , ..., , button 3
2. ButtonRelease event, , .., ..., button 1
Please note that the ButtonPress event is on some button and the
ButtonRelease event has the value of another button.
My guess is that, ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events should both
return the event for the same button as it happens with
button 2 or any other button when right handed, pretty obvious I guess
but has anybody an idea of how to fix this
