(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kcmmouse Version: KDE 3.0.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified I recently bought a 5 button + scrollwheel usb mouse. I've got it to work with the explorerPS/2 protocol only I'm unable to set it to left handed use in the KDE configuration. The appropriate selection items appear shaded. Since I'm left in most things it would be nice to have this working ;) Thanks for a great product (comming from a GNOME convert this should mean something :) ) With kind regards Jeroen Roodhart (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

I have the same problem (SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.2.2), asked the kde list, and didn't get any love there. I've seen several reports of similar problems on the kde list, but no replies and a bunch of orphaned bug reports (meaning not closed or resolved). Am I missing an authoritative answer to this? Or, is there none? Since j.roodhart mentioned GNOME, I'm also a GNOME user and I've never had any problems with selecting left handed there. Thanks, Reece
CVS commit by lunakl: Considering all mice with more than 5 buttons as weird and refusing to swap their primary<->secondary buttons is a bit ... erm, weird. Rewrote the code to check for at-least-this-many-buttons. Seems to work fine with both 3buttons+wheel mouse and 5buttons+wheel mouse. Will backport later in case nobody complains. BUG: 42609 M +48 -60 kdebase/kcontrol/input/mouse.cpp 1.97 M +14 -17 kdelibs/kdecore/kglobalsettings.cpp 1.84
