    kensington expert mouse button mapping

    i have been trying to get xinput to work at startup with no luck .
    right now in startup apps i have the following code
    "xinput set-button-map `xinput list | grep 'Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse' | grep -o [0-9][0-9]` 8 1 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12"
    which does nothing .
    i can of course manually copy and paste the xinput cmd in the terminal for each session : which works . but id like a permanent solution .
    thanks for any help.

    figured it out . for other new users interested heres what to do
    open terminal , type xinput list
    copy entire device name exactly as it is
    then go to startup applications, add
    in command field ,type : xinput set-button-map "<paste device name>"
    (note the quotes)
    could not get it to work with device id , but this does it for me
