Hi,
I produced a small patch that allows one to flip the mouse buttons at the
kernel level. This is useful for changing it on a per-system basis, i.e. it
will affect gpm, X and VMware all at once. It is changeable through
/sys/module/mousedev/swap_buttons at runtime. Is this something mainline would
be interested in?
