Re: Mouse button swapping

Hello, Jan!

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?

Jup, sounds interesting. Maybe it would be fine to add some more documentation,
otherwise the feature might get lost in space.
I also can imagine to have free button-mapping somewhere... for multi-button
mices, configurable from right to left-handed use on the fly.

Greets,
