What have you tried? In Gnome, you can try System --> Preferences
--> Hardware --> Mouse - it works for me.
Just for clarity, Lawrence already reported that this problem is on F11
Preview. I was able to duplicate the problem on my system. I tested it
to make sure, even though I am not left handed.
...That wound up sounding like a line from a favorite movie of mine. :)
There's more to this than meets the eye, I just tried on fc11 and it worked fine
for me, and instantly. I clicked left-handed and had to right click to exit the
pop-up. That machine hasn't been updated in 12 hours or so, but it's relatively
current.
I just did the system->pref->mouse thing. I looked at the top post in this and
it wasn't clear if the choice wasn't offered or it didn't work:
"I am still not able to choose left-handed or right-handed at mouse
control."
I think there was an earlier post on this to the testing list, it sounds familiar.
... and I'll bet you're not left-handed either! :)
Seriously, I think you could be right. I just tried this on my laptop
using my external mouse, and then tried it again using my laptop's
touchpad / mouse buttons. I have the rawhide updates as of this morning.
Results: The touchpad worked instantly - just as your mouse did. But the
external mouse didn't change at all. I even logged off and then back on
and the external mouse (a Microsoft USB Presenter Mouse) remained in
right-handed mode while the laptop touchpad buttons were in left-handed
mode.
Well if I have helped to clarify things I'm happy. At least now you can do a
really good and clear bugreport, and with the extra info to help reproduce the
problem developers may be able to help you quickly.
Good luck with that one.
