  aha) I’ve understood) u’r talking about the tablet mouse?
  if so, i’d say everything works fine for me. left,right and scroll…
  but, if u want to exchange them…hmmm…don’t know…
  maybe use: System->Parameters->Mouse->tick “for the left-handed user”?

  problem, but upgrading to ubuntu and 10.04 and the tablet does not work.

  Hi, I used this advise the last time to install my G-Pen and it worked then, but now I want to install it again after a clean install in Linux Mint 10 which is the same as Ubuntu 10, but now it doesn't work at all.
  I am not a coder, so I struggle a lot.

    Could you check in your package manager which version of xorg-server are you using?

    You could try smth like "sudo aptitude search xorg-server" in terminal too.
