Also you could try to check the original events with evtest /dev/input/event* (you to check for the correct event device) and see whether the left button actually creates LeftBtn events (always, with and without left hand mode). Other than that I'm pretty much lost here now, everything looks good so far... :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230918 ------- Comment #11 from felix.rommel@web.de 2007-01-28 17:22 MST ------- Sorry, I was busy the last days. I reinstalled openSUSE 10.2 on my old Aspire notebook and the switch between left/right handed mouse works now. I think I found the problem: As far as I understand: CorePointer can be switched from right to left hand mouse. SendCoreEvents pointer are not switched when choosing it in KDE control center. Steps to reproduce: Thinkpad: created a new xorg.conf with Sax2: - Touchpad is CorePointer buttons switchable - Trackpoint is SendCoreEvents buttons NOT switchable - External USB/PS2 mouse NO entry in xorg: buttons switchable Aspire: 1. - Touchpad is CorePointer buttons switchable - External USB/PS2 SendCoreEvents buttons NOT switchable 2. - External USB/PS2 CorePointer buttons switchable - Touchpad is SendCoreEvents buttons NOT switchable Conclusion: CorePointer device mouse buttons are switchable SendCoreEvents device mouse buttons are NOT switchable What is expected: 1. ALL devices should be switchable from right to left hand mode in KDE control center. OR 2. Every single device should be switchable independently - but then there must be an option in KDE control center for EVERY device to configure it! Current situation: You can only choose left hand or right hand mode in KDE control center BUT as a result one pointer is switched and the other is not! -> bad usability -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230918 ------- Comment #15 from felix.rommel@web.de 2007-02-05 14:45 MST ------- Aspire: 1. CorePointer -> switchable SendCoreEvents -> NOT switchable It doesn't matter if external USB mouse or touchpad is CorePointer or SendCoreEvents. 2. SendCoreEvents -> Touchpad not switchable SendCoreEvents -> External USB mouse not switchable and if you click a few times on left mouse button you get the same effect as on clicking the right mouse button (for example you get context menu for both buttons -> mouse behaves crazy) * Thinkpad: 1. CorePointer -> Trackpoint Switchable SendCoreEvents -> Not switchable device not in xorg.conf -> not switchable It doesn't matter if Trackpad or Touchpad is CorePointer. Corepointer is always switchable but not SendCoreEvents or the device which is not in xorg.conf. I think there is a problem when you add 3 devices in your xorg.conf - X did not start. Maybe it's a limitation of X server!? What works: CorePointer Trackpad -> Switchable Touchpad not in xorg.conf -> Switchable USB/PS2 mouse not in xorg.conf -> Switchable 2. SendCoreEvents -> Trackpad goes behaves crazy (see *) SendCoreEvents -> Touchpad not switchable SendCoreEvents -> External USB mouse behaves crazy (see *) Result: Even if my external PS2/USB mouse is damaged, switching to left handed mouse for Trackpad AND Touchpad on Thinkpad does NOT work. Trackpad and Touchpad are integrated my notebook - maybe it's not common for Thinkpads but Z61m has both. I think it's a Xorg problem - under Ubuntu switching to left handed mode doesn't work, too. Totally crazy that one configuration works for my Thinkpad (Trackpad in xorg.conf, Touchpad and external USB/PS2 mouse not in xorg.conf) and not for Aspire, when only inserting Touchpad in xorg.conf and leaving other input device out of xorg.conf. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

There's only one client specifiable button reordering mechanism, and that one doesn't care about multiple mice. So it *should* affect all of them. Maybe you didn't configure the mouse this time so all get processed by the same mouse section (the one that truly uses /dev/input/mice - not like the synaptics one that selects the correct event device internally). I have to dig deeper into this, as soon as time permits. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
