Re: where do you change mouse button config

I believe that the mouse need(ed) to be properly identified during initial setup. The identification and settings used during installation are reflected in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. If need be, you can always rerun:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and see if your mouse is selectable during that phase of configuration.

A cautionary note: Make a backup of your current working /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before you begin.

Re: where do you change mouse button config

hey thanks linuxwizard thats what i was looking for

this is going to take alittle getting used to or alot of changing things around. i'm used to pclinuxos but there latest release gave me so many headaches i got fed up trying to fix everything but then again they supplied everything at you finger tips

i really like kubuntu 7.04 its really easy to install and config had alittle trouble with the network at first but then found it was my own fault had the wrong dns # entered changed them and found everything just works unlike other distro's i've used in the past

thanks again

Re: where do you change mouse button config

On the topic of configuring your mouse, is it possible to have application specific mouse buttons?

Re: where do you change mouse button config

The .imwheelrc configuration file
And my .imwheelrc looks like: 
"^Firefox-bin$"
# Flip between browser tabs
None, Left, Control_L|Page_Up
None, Right, Control_L|Page_Down

(obviously you'd add more applications to this file if you'd like to customize the mouse button behavior in those applications)

you will have to edit the imwheel rc file for each app you would like to use the mouse buttons in

the above code was copied from the ubuntu imwheel setup page
