Description ra oeai 2012-11-19 12:51:13 CET
i was trying to rebind mouse buttons for the @lefthand
the script i'm using is 
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" (if you want to check it to swap buttons back change the "pointer = 1 2 3" command)
but it's not working in x32 terminal i've tried all terminals and the result is

xmodmap: unknown command on line commandline:1
xmodmap: unable to open file '=' for reading (then the same is for '3' '2' '1')
but in x64 it is executed properly and actually this is a working script that i'm using every boot on my main system.

i'm not really sure why this is happens. maybe i got some weird keyboard layout installed?
-e means execute "expression string"
