Hello Chris,

nothing answered, so far, no need to apologize ;-) Thanks.

Well, since a couple of years for now I use moused enabled as well as an 
appropriate X11 mouse
driver configuration - untouched so far.
On the console - where moused() will be mostly effective - I do not utilize 
sophistcation in
z-axis mapping, but this comes into play when using a simple desktop.

I do not know whether X11 does have a simple mapping of left- or righthand 
mouse usage, I
guess you'll have to map this for yourself "per pedes" - x11-wm/windowmaker is 
also kept very
simple at this point. I guess when left/righthand would have been changed or is 
about to
change, also someone has to take care for the mouse buttons left/right. They 
are unchanged, so
far.

I will check also for the ZAxisMapping in the InputClass section of X11, maybe 
I can map the
propper way more easisly there. But that doesn't anser the question what 
changed in the new
device infrastructure. I'd like to understand - to conceive a solution.

Kind regards,
Oliver
