<div class="gmail_quote">Don't know if any of you could help out. I've posted in the ubuntu
forums to no avail, but if you could help or point me to a more
knowledgeable mailinglist/forum i would appreciate that too.<br><br>I'm
trying to invert the Y axis on my mouse (mainly because Perfect World
Int. doesn't have an ability to do this in game) and I'm old school
gamer, so I can't function without it inverted. Anyways, so before
8.10 (at least i think so) you would just add this line to your
xorg.conf file in the input device section:<br>
<br>Option InvY "true"<br><br>Now xorg or something uses HAL and you have to create an FDI file (which i've done):<br><br><pre dir="ltr" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 146px; text-align: left;">

<br><br>So it should be working, but it doesn't invert the mouse. Anyone know what the problem is?<br><br>BTW: i have also tried the following to no avail:<br clear="all"><pre dir="ltr" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 146px; text-align: left;">
<merge key="input.x11_options.InvY" type="string">true</merge></pre>
