Left Handed Mouse in X

[ChuckM]

I'm trying to get my mouse programmed in X to run left-handed. xmodmap gives me errors indicating I need to edit 5 buttons. X.org config shows:

option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
option "Emulate3Buttons"

Do you use KDE? In Controlcenter --> Accessories --> Mouse there is two radio buttons to select either righthand or lefthand mouse buttons

(Yeah, I know that's taking the easy way...)

Similarly, in Gnome go to System --> Preferences --> Mouse and there is a checkbox to enable Left-handed mouse. As Tina said, this is also taking the easy way...

I have no problem programming Window Managers. Let's say at the Libranet Welcome display. When selecting a manager or shutting down the system, the selection buttons only respond to right handed buttons. There is my problem. Anybody come across this?

A quick google turned up this (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#MOUSE-BUTTON-REVERSE), don't know if it'll help though...
