Remap mouse buttons for remote X serverss

[J. Seth Henry]

LLeweLLyn,
Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately, the X server is running on the
Explora, and it doesn't have the equivalent of an XF86Config. It is
beginning to look like I may just be out of luck, unless I can get KDE
or gnome to handle the mouse mangling for me, as they (and the apps),
are the only thing running on the BSD box.

Thanks,
Seth Henry
