Hi! I've never had such a problem but, after the last reboot of KDE I cannot set the left handed mouse anymore. I tried looking here and I found this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-556655-highlight-left+handed+mouse.html. Anyway, the solution isn't working. I checked emerge.log and I saw I recently upgraded xorg-server and some x11-drivers. Could that be the problem?
Thanks.

Wow! At last, I've been able to solve the problem! I used this command:

Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"


But, it seems like kcontrol is not linked at all. However I change the setup, nothing changes. Now I have left-handed mouse, and in kcontrol right-handed is checked. Maybe a bug?

I have the same problem, after upgrading to xorg 7.3. Have to click at the options, apply and reset a few times in KDE Control Center before it works as it should.

Yes, I kinda suspect that was the problem. Anyway, I still can't make it work. At least now my mouse is left-handed.
