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: ==========
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 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. Lee
