I have a Kensington TurboMouse (four/five button trackball), and I had similar problems. When I start X, the lower-left button is button1 (left button), the upper-left button is button3 (right button), and the lower-right button is button2 (middle button). The only way I've found to work around this problem is to run `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' by hand to switch the buttons around after I've logged in. X is supposed to read the .Xmodmap file when it starts, and it does seem to read the file (I can get it to dump the contents, for instance), but it doesn't actually change the mapping. I currently have the relevant command in the history list of the MiniCommander applet under GNOME, and I just choose the command from the menu (usually after I've tried and failed to copy and paste something and remembered that I need to). All I have in my .Xmodmap file is the following line: pointer = 1 3 2 You could also run this command from the command line, using xmodmap -e 'pointer = 1 3 2' (If you were left handed, you could switch the buttons around using xmodmap -e 'pointer = 2 3 1') Since you only have two buttons, your command line might be a bit different -- you may have to experiment a bit. Hope that helps, at least a bit.
