0032 <para>This module allows you to configure your pointing device. Your
0033 pointing device may be a mouse, a trackball, a touchpad, or another piece
0034 of hardware that performs a similar function.</para>

0044 If you are left-handed, you may
0045 prefer to swap the functions of the <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> and
0046 <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> buttons on your pointing device by checking this option. If your pointing device has more than two
0047 buttons, only those that function as the <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> and
0048 <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> buttons are affected. For example, if you have
0049 a three-button mouse, the <mousebutton>middle</mousebutton> button is
0050 unaffected.</para>

0068 This option allows you to change the relationship
0069 between the distance that the mouse pointer moves on the
0070 screen and the relative movement of the physical device
0071 itself (which may be a mouse, trackball, or some other
0072 pointing device.)</para>

0078 <listitem><para>
0079 The <guilabel>Standard</guilabel> mode adjusts the amount of pointer acceleration according to how fast you move the mouse. If you set it to <guilabel>None</guilabel>, the acceleration remains constant regardless of speed.

0086 <listitem><para>
0087 With this check box selected, the scroll wheel (if any) will work in the opposite direction (so that if rolling the top of the scroll wheel towards you previously causes a scroll down, then it will now cause a scroll up).
