Title: Persistence with mouse
Post by: larkl on December 21, 2015, 07:19:51 AM

First off, great little OS!  I've been looking for something similar for awhile.  Probably my 7th or 8th in the past 10 years. 

I use my mouse left-handed.  I'm able to reverse the mouse buttons with mousetool, but it doesn't last.  Maybe 1-2 minutes.  I've got a /home and other settings are being saved upon reboot.   I installed CorePlus. 

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm.  Well, I thought I had it, but this didn't work. 

I edited /home/tc/.mouse_config and  changed the line xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 2 1 4 5" to xmodmap - e 'pointer = 1 2 3 4 5" and rebooted. 

The mouse is the same.

Haven't seen this kind of behavior, I'd suggest to try Xorg instead of Xvesa.

Did you backup before rebooting?

Yes, it's backed up.  The changes in the mouse config file persisted after reboot.

Using Xorg now and it's working great.  I was a bit puzzled after the reboot with Xorg.  Turned out the mouse wheel was my primary button.  It's working now and has persisted after another reboot.
