An equivalent to tubeamp's commandline fix works if I use the correct name for my touch pad, namely,
xinput set-button-map "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 (I got the name by running xinput list | grep 'id=' ) Of course this is not a solution, only a very unsatisfactory workaround ... which leads to the question: As long as this bug is considered "low priority", where can either the xinput command, or an .fdi file that fixes the problem, be put so that the mouse buttons are swapped at login, and the swap is not sabotaged by a dysfunctional gnome-control-center? -- Touchpad buttons don't swap when selecting left handed mouse option [Dell Latitude D620] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
