man xmodmap as suggested earlier offers a Temporary solution. i have
entered this line in the terminal to change over to a left handed setup
EXAMPLES
Many pointers are designed such that the first button is pressed using
the index finger of the right hand. People who are left-handed fre‐
quently find that it is more comfortable 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"
however I am unable to change back to a right handed mouse in the
sys>pref>mouse and further still the . g.i. there does not recognize
that there is a difference in input L or R
I am not a programmer so im grateful that i didnt get stuck with an
inoperable touchpad or mouse.
can someone please forward this to bugs for a fix or the author for an update.
I understand this is in transit to bugs now just thought i might take a chance
and try to help solve this.
i am also unsure of the language in this example as it states a 3 button
pointer as i stated originally i only have two buttons with my pad
unless this is counted as the third(pad)

sorry if this is redundant i did see a similar suggestion further up the
report
also when i set up another user account the "patch" if you will did not
affect the other users setting just for fact dont know if that matters.
thanks for all the attention to this
