what file to edit to change mouse pointer wrap from right to left instead of left to right

#1 Post by kb50 »

Been posting this in Facebook MX group on how to change the Mouse Pointer to wrap itself from Right monitor to left monitor as it does in Windows 10.

Many have stated to use the Monitor app to re arrange the monitors but that does not work, because my best monitor is my right one, and the less used one is on the left.
I just want to change it to force it to jump over to the left monitor when moved left.
I do not want to physically move anything as everything is phycially how I want it to be.

Somewhere I see a reference to a dkms file but I do not know where the file is located.

Something referring to the mouse location as left of or right of.

Does anyone know what I refer to. Sadly I have tried every setting in the display app without any success.

you actually do need to use the Display utility to tell the system which monitor is on the left and which is on the right. you don't actually have to move the physical monitors.

this is very similar to how windows does it.
