Hi Frank. It's funny you mention this. I'm right-handed, but I use left-handed mouse (configured as such). I also need to use Ubuntu for one of the projects I'm involved in. A couple of months or so ago, left-handed mouse support died in Ubuntu. I figured it was their fault -- and still did until just now. But maybe not....
Regardless, I have 5 computers which are running OpenSolaris (build 126 on a couple, 127 on the rest). These have all been updates rather than clean installs. And they all have left-handed mouse working. Take care. --joanie On Sun, 2009-11-15 at 19:33 -0500, Frank Middleton wrote: > Although I am right handed, I prefer the left handed mouse > setting.
