XFMouse - Configuring the mouse

          The XFce Mouse Configurator is a graphic user interface for easy mouse configuration.

          1) The main concept

          XFMouse can be started from the command line or from the system.xfwmrc file at startup (default). If no parameter is specified, the command "xfmouse" will just read the user's configuration file and apply the settings to the mouse accordingly.

          In order to access the graphic interface, the user must specify "-i" as parameter.

          2) The user interface

          Starting XFMouse from a command prompt, by typing xfmouse -i,  will open the graphical interface of XFMouse :
           



           



           

          • Select Left or Right if you are left or right handed. If you select "Left", logical button 1 will be mapped on physical button 3 and logical button 3 will be mapped on physical button 1. Button 2 (middle) is kept unchanged. Note that this setting is global to the X server and will affect all applications running on the screen.
          • "Acceleration" determine how many pixels to move the cursor based on how much the physical pointer moved.
          • "Threshold" specifies how many pixels the physical pointer must have to move for "acceleration" to take effect.


          3) Starting XFmouse automatically

          XFMouse is started by the reserved functions "InitFunction" and  "RestartFunction" in system.xfwmrc.

          If you have a customized version of system.xfwmrc (also called sample.xfwmrc or .xfwmrc), you need to add the following sentences to your system.xfwmrc configuration file :
           

          AddToFunc "InitFunction"
          +              "I" Exec xfmouse -d

          AddToFunc "RestartFunction"
          +              "I" Exec xfmouse -d
