   Hi
   share with the community problem that presented itself back days.
   A friend visited me and wanted to use the computer, but he is left-handed, and the mouse is configured for right-handed. After searching the net I found this solution

   http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=104329.0

   In SliTaz install xorg-xmodmap

   then from the terminal:

   (mouse for lefties)
   # xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1";

   (mouse right-handed)
   # xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3";

   check "pointer map" with:
   # xmodmap -pp

   Hi Rene,

   It's nice piece of info for SliTaz's doc.slitaz.org, or it will lost here on the forum.

   (Btw, my son is left-handed, he writes with his left hand, but he was accustomed to use the mouse with his right hand ;)

   Hi Alexsej,

   if you have access to documentation SliTaz's would be good to add it.
   I'm happy for her son, who can now use the mouse with your left hand :)

   Nice tip! Thanks!

   @Aleksej: Where can this tip be written at Slitaz Doc? Maybe at FAQ page, "General" section?

   @rerivero: every Slitaz user has access to Slitaz Doc. Wiki is open for everyone who wants to contribute.

   ... or, better FAQ » Hardware?

   I think it's really better to write this tip at FAQ -> Hardware. Thanks Aleksej for your suggestion!
   When I get some free time I will write it there.

   @Genesis,

   You can complete its documentation for a user to have default settings for your mouse left-hand, ADD to .xinitrc (in your home)
   xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"

   Thank's

   @rerivero,

   OK, I'll update the page. But first, I want to take a doubt:
   Need the user only add this line:
   xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
   ...to the end of the ~/.xinitrc file or to the EXEC line?

   EDIT: Just to test, I tried to add a new line to .xinitrc, but I got no results: mouse still for right-handed.
