I am righthanded but for me is much more easier to do scrolling with left small button pressed. How to do that in Ubuntu 10.04?

change this line

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "9"

to this

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"

Is there any way we could do this using HAL instead of messing with xorg? That seems to be the "new" way to do things "properly"

Hi
With the 6.3 + drivers for set point it is easy to scroll with the "Marble Mouse" trackball. Using the default settings click on the righ hand side mini button ant ball then scrolls the page. Click again to turn scrolling off an the ball returns to running the pointer.
A tiny icon appears mid screen to show when the scroll mode is on
I recommend it

Hello again. There is a problem when using this device(I meen this) when using firefox in gnome-shell or unity on ubuntu 11.10. The selection of a text with scrolling down doesn't work in firefox, selection of a text with scrolling up works as normal. There is no such bug in chrome browser.
Any ideas?

It looks like a firefox bug. It does not work with other mouse either.
