fedora 9: left handed mouse after resuming from hibernate

[fedora]

hi every

bug report is in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442250

my workaround: after resuming, run the following script:

<script>
#!/bin/sh
# This command will swap the buttons of ALL mouses under KDE

xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5"
</script>

no typo: you must run the command twice...

this is called heuristical computing, if you catch my meaning...

Have you tried putting your script into one of the power management
script directories [1], so it gets run automatically?

Obviously the real fault should be fixed, but in the meantime...

1.  One of the sub-directories inside /etc/pm/

If script was put there would it need any ext .sh etc..,
am thinking /etc/pm/config.d
As here it not a resume just losing the setup after using kvm.

No faster than using the applet.
Now if it could run automagically after, F9 picking up the mouse again.
That would be nice.

Thanks for the script.

On my Fedora 7 laptop, I have a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ for
re-applying some parameters to my hard drive after a wakeup.  You could
use it as a template, changing the (hdparm) command line to whatever
commands you were using to fix your problem.


#!/bin/bash

case "$1" in

        thaw|resume)
                /sbin/hdparm -B255 /dev/sda 
                ;;

        *)
                ;;

esac

exit $?


The file permissions are rwx-r-xr-x.  Though I suspect it only needs to
be executable by root, I haven't bothered testing.
