Agreed.I recently bought a 4d trackball from dick smiths XH1866, a lot
better than swapping the mouse over to the left hand. With three buttons
and two wheels it was just a matter adding to xorg.conf
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxismapping" "6 7 4 5"
I know this is a shameless plug but from what I have seen trackballs are a
lot cheaper now compared to six years ago at $95.
Reversing the buttons for left handers requires xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
in the .xinitrc file. see man xmodmap.
