Sorry for the LONG title, but I think it best describes my predicament. I simply don't know where to place the command:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

To have the 7 buttons on these mice to work properly (otherwise the wheel will not scroll and the side buttons will be seen as the wheel, reversed, BTW). I have tried XSessions, xinitrc, ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xession to no avail. I had these mice working just fine under Xorg 6.7, but 6.8 seems to handle this differently... This is no showstopper, but I find it QUITE annoying to have to execute each time any user logs in the above command... So I would like to have it executed GLOBALLY if possible.

Thanks.

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput.sh

Just stick it under the first few comments (above the actual scripts though).

I eventually found this nice place to hide it... the web also said to use the usual .xinitrc or .Xsession but for some reason Fedora Core ignores these files.

THANK YOU for that piece of information!!! And it'd be nice to know why FC (especially FC 2 & 3) ignores ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xsessions
