In my setup, I have a trackball and a mouse. (I use the mouse almost exclusively for the scroll wheel.) The trackball has four buttons, numbered from left to right: 1 8 9 3. I like to have them as 1 6 2 3 instead, so I have a file containing pointer = 1 9 3 4 5 8 7 6 2 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 (on one line) that I feed to xmodmap. This works, every time, BUT once in a while the buttons revert to producing 1 8 9 3 again after a while (as tested with xev). However, xmodmap -pp indicates that my pointer settings are as I had set them. Still, running xmodmap again cures the problem for a while. I have no idea what triggers this, so I don't feel I have enough data to write a PR. Does this ring a bell with any of you folks? If not, can you suggest an experiment that might provide some more information? FWIW, I have these packages (on 7-STABLE as of mid-January): dbus-1.2.4.4 hal-0.5.11_17 xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0_2 xorg-server-1.5.3_3,1 - Harald
