I tried 2 left handed mouse pointer themes in X/Ubuntu 11.10. > in 10.10 they worked sometimes
I tried to use "Yellow Dot - Left Handed" (05/16/2007) and "Obsidian (left handed version) 1.0.1" (03/11/2010). Only in 10.04 the left handed pointers worked normal. It seems the same "sometimes" in 11.10 … result for Unity and Xfce4: 1. Intel GMA The desktop shows only the "normal" mouse pointer. If I start an application like Firefox, the pointer switched "inside" to the left handed theme. The pointer lay-out changes to "right handed" if I reach the titelbar of the application or move my mouse pointer over the desktop. btw: I used a fully upgraded 11.10 X/Ubuntu system. 2. Nvidia In a live session with Ubuntu 11.10 is was'nt possible te switch to an left handed mouse. I saw "right handed response" after my change to a "left handed" mouse in Unity. In 10.04 "Yellow Dot - Left Handed" works fine (with a GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS and and also with an Intel GMA X4500). I did "make install" as user → switched to the yellowdot-theme → log-out/log-in. So I was able to use my left handed pointers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775112 Title: mouse pointer change doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/775112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
