1) The information about using GPM's -B option is incorrect. As you can see from the enclosed configs, I already use -B 321, but this is ignored by X. 2) xmodmap has been broken since XFree 4.3.0. Any xmodmap receipe I had left from 4.2.1 either results in broken keyboard maps or in is simply ignored. Honnestly, the correct action would be for X to follow the button order configured for GPM. I really wonder why that fails. -- Martin-Éric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.pp.fishpool.fi/~q-funk/
