           Summary: left handed option for mouse broken with xorg-7.3
           Product: kcontrol
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: molkentin kde org
        ReportedBy: hijacker gmx net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.0 CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
OS:                Linux

Using xorg-7.3 the "Left Handed" option in the KDE Control Center -> Peripherals -> Mouse does not work anymore. IT remains Right Handed all the time. Using KDE 3.5.7, Xorg-7.3, xorg-server-1.4, xf86-input-evdev-1.1.5.

I know that there are already several other bugreports regarding non-functioning Left Handed option, but they are all from way earlier times and seem unrelated to this report. It used to work fine in xorg-7.2 and just stopped in xorg-7.3. I asked someone else on the #kde IRC channel to confirm it and he did confirm (User Sho_).

I was unsure if I should report it here, or to the xorg bugtracker (freedesktop.org), but on your IRC channel I was advised to post it here; if inappropriate I would be redirected to the Xorg guys. Also, I wouldn't know what to tell the Xorg group. If I said "The KDE 'Left Handed' option does not work anymore", they for sure would say "Please contact the KDE guys for this." ;).

This error is pretty easy to reproduce. If you have xorg-7.3 installed, just go to the menu I described in the first paragraph, Apply and see if it works, or not.
