Left-handed mouse setup not stored

Hi! It happened to me that, after upgrading something, I started to have some troubles setting up the left-handed mouse. I found a thread in these forums, and found out it was sufficient to set it up manually with:

Source code

 
1

xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"


The problem now is that the KDE Control Center cannot setup the left-handed mouse, and I cannot store this, so that, each time I reboot, I get the default right-handed mouse again. Is it possible to solve this issue so that I don't have to set it again any time I run KDE?
Thanks!

Have you tried placing it in a shell script in .kde/Autostart ? This should do the trick:

Source code

 
1

echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nxmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"' >> ~/.kde/Autostart/mouse && chmod u+x ~/.kde/Autostart/mouse


I hope that works. :)
