evdev: Swap the numbers for the middle and right buttons (1.96 KB, patch)

Description Neil Roberts 2012-07-19 14:30:14 UTC 
Pressing the middle mouse button makes an event for the right button and vice versa.

evdev: Swap the numbers for the middle and right buttons

The ordering of the evdev button numbers is the opposite of the
order in Clutter (the middle button is 3 instead of 2) so we need to
manually map the button numbers when creating a ClutterButtonEvent.

Review of attachment 219230 [details] [review]:

looks generally okay, but I do wonder how evdev handles cases where the button order is swapped (left-handed vs right-handed), and if it doesn't, if Clutter ought to.
