man xmodmap:
Many pointers are designed such that the first button is
pressed using the index finger of the right hand. People
who are left-handed frequently find that it is more com-
fortable to reverse the button codes that get generated so
that the primary button is pressed using the index finger
of the left hand. This could be done on a 3 button
pointer as follows:
% xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
You could put "pointer = 3 2 1" in your ~/.Xmodmap file for a permanent
change through all X-sessions.
