The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

Sword Management
I am playing Witcher 2 with an wired xbox 360 controller plugged into my laptop. When I first started playing the game, it seemed that 2 swords could be reliably drawn with seperate and repeatable commands, specifically IIRC the steel sword would be drawn by pressing B and the silver sword drawn by pressing the right bumper. I haven't yet figured out how to sheeth a weapon so sometimes I will unequip one or both swords to get the same effect (if, for example, while in town and not wanting to agitate everyone). (Obviously, events and conversations will sheeth your sword automatically but this isn't an effect I can produce on demand.) Lately, the B and RB system doesn't seem to be working reliably, it seems as if either of those buttons can draw either sword, usually the one I don't need at the moment much to my chagrin. My solution to this is to unequip whichever sword I don't need and this more or less works but it is a certain amount of busywork. So some questions that naturally come out of this are:

1. Is there a better way to sheeth a sword?
2. What in the world is going on with my B, RB sword controls? (This may possibly be bug report on the very thin chance it could find its way to the right parties)
3. Is there a way to remap the controls?

Another question totally unrelated to swords is that I was wondering what level of control you have over targeting. This may have been covered in the tutorial but I may have forgotten. But AFAIK the game randomly (or the closest?) selects an enemy in your field of view and, aside from changing your field of view, you don't actually have much control over which enemy is targeted. Most the time this doesn't matter, but there are situations where it would be useful to toggle through enemies a la GTA left bumper - right bumper. Is this something that exists in the game currently?

On the pc config you can sheeth by pressing the same button of the weapon (1 for Stell will draw/seeth - 2 for silver will draw or seeth).
On PC pressing ALT will LOCK the enemy target.... go to see your config or redo the Tutorial, it is better.

Swords are selected with the D-Pad. Up is Silver and Down is Steel. On the controller 'B' uses your signs. RB throws daggers/bombs and sets traps and no you cannot re-map the controller.
