[kde-linux] left handed mouse

Hi,
sorry I forgot:
IBM Lenovo T60
gentoo-Linux, kde-3.5.7

>> since at least kde-3.5.4 I can switch the mouse setting to left handed,
>> kcontrol shows the correct graphic, BUT the behaviour of the mouse is
>> still right handed.

Thanks for this hint ;-)

It doesn't work for me ,-(

I have 3 InputDevice Sections for mice:
   Identifier  "Serial Mouse"
   Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
   Identifier  "USB Mouse"
all 3 with driver " mouse"

Being away from home i exclusively use the trackpoint. (I disabled the 
touchpad in BIOS.)
In each of the 3 sections commenting out the "SendCoreEvents" does not 
have any effect on the handedness of the mouse.

OTOH
Commenting out the line ' InputDevice    "USB Mouse" "AlwaysCore" '
not only freezes the mouse but also stops the enter key working.

Cheers

Hellmut
