As I stated in another forum here, I have Antix 7 installed in an old Dell Optiplex GX-1.
My problem is that I want a left hand mouse and haven't found out how to do that in Antix. It's not a show stopper, but it would be nice.
A lot of distros have a provision to change from a right hand mouse to a lefty somewhere in the configuration or settings menu.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have a look at this thread.

basically it says to use xmodmap command, in a terminal

xmodmap -e"pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"

and add it to your fluxbox menu file.

[exec] (Left) {xmodmap -e"pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"}
[exec] (Right) {xmodmap -e"pointer = 1 2 3 4 5"}

I drive my co-workers, and the wife crazy. I have three systems at work with two mice on the right and one on the left. The one on the left is a right-hand configuration. At home all three of my systems have mice on the left with right-hand configurations. I simply shift my fingers on the buttons depending upon what I am doing. That used to be the trick gaming setup. Left hand mouse and right hand for the keyboard when gaming. I shift without even thinking about it.

At work, that keeps me from grabbing the wrong mouse since the systems are all next to each other. But when a co-worker absolutely must do something on one of my machines, it confuses the heck out of them just being next to it.
