Just curious, what kind of mouse have twelve buttons? Anyway, could we please get /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log as uncompressed separate attachments to this bug, please? Created attachment 279311 [details]
Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 279331 [details]
xorg.conf
Things work if I change the mouse settings in xorg.conf to be like the ones I
had on FC5 on the same machine:
(and the mouse now only has 9 buttons)

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Not sure what the issue was there, but xmodmap definitely works in F9. Closing as fixed in CURRENTRELEASE. |
Description of problem: xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12" does not work anymore to change the mouse buttons for a left handed mouse. The command completes without error, and it seems to have worked: xmodmap -pp There are 12 pointer buttons defined. Physical Button Button Code 1 3 2 2 3 1 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 11 12 12 but the button assignment does change in fact. This is an up to date F8 Thinkpad T43 machine. It is a fresh install. The window manager if fvwm. I've had FC5 before on the machine and everything worked fine. Can this be fixed? The mouse is not currently usable... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-utils-7.3-1.fc8 Thanks!
