Yup.. Considering myself as a newbie right now...
Actually, I'm pretty proud of myself because I managed to install Mandrake 10.1 and the latest Nvidia drivers with some help from google.. But now I'm stuck, and soon considered a dumbass - or??
First some system details:
Dell Dimension 8600 3.0GHz P4MT
- And it was delivered with a Dell keyboard, a Dell USB mouse and a Dell 19" CRT monitor
- Mandrake 10.1 LE
- KDE
I think that the keyboard and the mouse are manufactured by Logitech, and as you can see the keyboard is working
It's the mouse that bugs me.. It works ok, but the thing thats driving me crazy is that in my XP installation I use the clickable wheel as a "back" button in the browser.
And, before you tell me how to do it - I've already done the changes to xorg.config and it works OK when I open up a console and tells it to
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 6 3 2 7 4 5" wich then maps the click-function of the wheel to the functions of the 6th button, or something like that - Hell, Im no guru at this
But it's kinda boring to have to open a shell and actually write that everytime I login, so I searched for some way to automate this, and found out that I should edit the file '~/.xsession' (took me a while to figure out that 'ls -a' shows the hidden files) but I've edited thatone, or actually I created one because it didn't exists. Now it seems that my
.xsession file is completely ignored, and leaving me with no other option then the less cool way to do it.
Many thanks
