Can't select anything. Need to default to left click so I can select and 
grab stuff. Right-click should be emulated as in ctrl click.

Cocooncrash reckons I should  examine

 evdev, Option "ButtonMapping" and edit xorg.conf

Whole bunch of technical detail to absorb, still thinking about it.

I then tried what looked like a better option, installing mouseemu but 
it did something horribly  weird to the keyboard.

*Since, dpkg-reconfigure has been deprecated I couldn't reset the 
keyboard, so, I'm reinstalling again so my friend doesn't freak out, and 
then I'll try mousetweaks.
