I installed PCLOS 2007 TR3, KDE 3.5.6 is the gui. I have tried to get my mouse to switch to left handed. Nothing changes. The prior KDE 3.5.5 didn't have this problem. Do you have a bug in this module? Is there another way to assign the buttons? It is very difficult for me to use a right handed mouse configuration.
Yes, I should be able to change the mouse to left handed in kcontrol, however nothing changes when I select left handed. It shows that I have made the change. This just happened since installing KDE 3.5.6 included with PCLOS 2007 TR3.
xmodmap doesn't have an effect either. Output from terminal session: [root@localhost ~]# xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
Warning: Only changing the first 3 of 9 buttons.

That might be the wrong name, actually. If you have XFree86, I think the name is different. Either way, I'd stick with Rinse's advice. The plain old X interface is a good generic environment to test with.

Is this a KDE problem or is it PCLOS? I have tried changing the mouse in the "configure your computer" but there is no change in the hardware.
i think it is either a problem in your mousesetting in xorg.conf or a pclinux problem.
The xmodmap command i gave should work, kde does not influence it.

Then your distro broke something, perhaps in kde or xorg. If possible, try to apply latest updates from repositories for your distro and try again. If still doesn't work, you can notify them about this problem.
