botmund, Gee fellow, you sent out like 4 or 5 mails to both me and the list, just one to the list will do please. ;o)
Sorry for that. I will settle for right hand mouse for the time being.
This seems to be a problem to hard for me to solve. Anyways its not a big
problem.
The last things I did was to remove(using pico) the "synaptics" part from
the xorg.conf and then restarted. KDE would not start after that, I tried
typing kde at the command line but got the error message below. Well I'll
leave it for now. Richard, I'll try your suggestion when I get the
motivation back.
Thanks all for the suggestions! Appreciate it a lot.
This is the error message when trying to start KDE with the modified
xorg.conf:
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set.
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
ksmserver: cannot connect to X server
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
startkde: Done.
This I removed:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "ButtonNumber" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Name" "Synaptics;Touchpad"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Are you using KDE as your interface...
Yup, using KDE and I've tried the control center, below is my first post:
SuSe 9.3 Professional.
I've tried editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I've tried xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12" and neither works. SuSe control center isn't of much help either.
Anyone have any idea what to do?
I use a MS Wheel Mouse Optical (USB). Computer is Compaq EVO n600c.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf (mouse related part) looks like this: ==========

Sorry didn't notice that you had mentioned trying the control center earlier. I also notice you are using a laptop which has the pad and an external mouse, so I suspect that is what is confusing the KDE control center. I wonder if you eliminated the pad from xorg.conf and just setup for the mouse if it would work correctly? Since the control center can't distinquish between the two nor does it allow you to specify which mouse is in use, I'm guessing the only recourse you might have is to setup for the external as the main mouse.
No other thoughts at this time.
