Brian K If this behaviour is consistent across all X applications, you could try using xmodmap: First, use xev to identify which button numbers are associated with the up, down, left right movements. Let's say these are 4, 5, 6 7 respectively. If you want the up button swapping with left, and down swapping with right, you would enter: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 you can use xmodmap -pp to verify the change. You should see something like this: $ xmodmap -pp There are 7 pointer buttons defined. PhysicalButton Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 6 5 7 6 4 7 5 I can't guarantee that this will work with XWin, but this technique works for xorg on Linux, so it's likely to be OK.
