Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux The mouse mapping (left-handed) is applied only to the first/core mouse. The first mouse is ps/2, the second one (which map incorrectly) is a usb mouse. .kde/share/config/kcminputrc ============================ [Mouse] Acceleration=3 MouseButtonMapping=LeftHanded XF86Config ========== Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[0]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[0]" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "SendCoreEvents" ...

Like the original reporter I have 2 mouses. Since one is the Touchpad(synaptics) of my laptop and the other an addition usb mouse(logitech wheel). Since I usually attach and detach I would not like to set my USB mouse as CorePointer, resulting in a mouse that cannot be set left-handed. This problem is quite annoying since also frequently use another system where I can use the first mouse left-handed and am therefore very used to using the mouse left handed.
I have pretty much the same problem. My mouse has 9 buttons of which button 2 ("middle button") is physically missing due to a two-speed wheel. To fix this in X I use this 'xorg.conf' setting: ---[snip]--- Section "InputDevice" ### Logitech NX80 (laserska) Identifier "Mouse" Driver "evdev" #Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4" Option "Resolution" "1000" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 0 3 4 5 6 7 8 2" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.09" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse" ### KSynaptics prav da rab UseShm Option "UseShm" "true" EndSection ---[snap]--- I tested this solution (ButtonMapping depends on evdev 2.1) on both KDE and Fluxbox and got these results: * in KDM it works flawlessly * in Fluxbox it works flawlessly * in KDE it ignores it and overrides it (so I have to manually use 'xmodmap' to enforce it again) In my opinion, it would be enough to just have KControl handle mouse mappings as an option (and not by default that cannot be turned off!) — just like it's optional for KControl to handle keyboard layouts. P.S. To some extent (at least towards the end) Bug 34362 seems to have some similarity to this one.
I managed to solve this problem by removing all input-related settings from 'xorg.conf' and migrating them to HAL's '*.fdi' files. I wrote a lenghtly HOWTO on my homepage: http://matija.suklje.name/?q=node/56 I think this could be marked as solved (UPSTREAM?).
*bump* I still think this could be closed because of UPSTREAM.
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
