To All: I am using Suse 5.3, and would like to change my mouse button mapping on a Logitech Trackman Marble FX: I want to swap the left and middle buttons (I find I get much less thumb discomfort when I use the middle button as the LMB; and the lower, left real button as the occasional middle button) At present it works fine in standard R handed 3 button mode (PS2). To switch buttons - xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 3" --> this works just fine if I run it in an xterm window once I have kde or fvwm up and running. However, I would like to place it in the proper startup file so it automatically takes hold before starting a console window; and before starting an X server/windows manager combination. I would also like this to work when I log on either as root , or as a regular user. I have looked at the following file locations: /etc/profile /etc/rc.config etc/skel/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc What are the appropriate files for inserting the xmodmap line - considering the logon options I am considering? (root/user, console/X) Any suggestions or pointers to appropriate help files, howto's, URL's would be much appreciated - I have already done some research, but no joy so far.
