a23 bugs in startup, mouse, & associations

Unfortunately I have antiX-pdm out of box and it’s not work properly. I update and upgrade after install antiX of course.

What precisely reads the console output if you try?

Where I find mouse layout config?

The config file written by antiX-pdm is

~/.current_pointing_device_config

containing a line

xinput set-prop "Device_name_here" "libinput Left Handed Enabled" "1"

and it should be hooked in

~/.desktop-session/startup

therein again you should find a line reading:

## Uncomment to load device configurations set in antix poting device manager
$HOME/.current_pointing_device_config &

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

I think that current antiX-pdm have an error with “Apply and close” button. It’s untouchable anyway – nor by mouse, nor by keyboard. Thus file “.current_pointing_device_config” not copied (I not see this file) from “.temporary_current_pointing_device_config” (I see this file). “startup” file not modified also.

Yep. I not try this way. See many errors:

$ antiX-pdm

Just for your information, EVEN IF YOU CHANGED NOTHING, the current pointing device config is:

xinput set-prop “Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse” “libinput Accel Speed” “”
xinput set-prop “Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
libinput Middle Emulation Enabled (321): 0
libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (331): 1

23 dec: I’ll brute force this. Read /usr/local/bin/antiX-pdm and ~/.temporary_current_poiting_device_config, replay appropriate ~/.current_pointing_device_config with

xinput set-prop "<Place_you_mouse>" "libinput Accel Speed" ""
xinput set-prop "<Place_you_mouse>" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
xinput set-prop "<Place_you_mouse>" "libinput Left Handed Enabled" "1"

make them executable and paste this

## Uncomment to load device configurations set in antix pointing device manager
~/.current_pointing_device_config &

into the ~/.desktop-session/startup
Now mouse are left handed and I’d learn how to disable antiX-pdm update for a while.

BTW: antiX-pdm have 3 typos (1 critical) with “poiting” instead of “pointing”.
