hi

just wondering if it is possible to make all 10 (not only 7) buttons of the mouse (Logitech MX 700) to work in xorg without a patch?

currently the 2 buttons on up and below of the scroll works as scroll buttons also, and the topmost button works as button 1.

i'd like to use them for something else, with imwheel or to map it in window manager settings..

uhh, how clearly i speak.. didn't sleep this night.. maybe i sleep this day ;) nites -->

I also have an MX700 mouse. Sorry I can't answer your question, but maybe you can answer mine. How did you get your scroll wheel to work and some of the other buttons. Could you post the mouse input section of your xorg.conf?

Thanks

my .xinitrc:
Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5" &
imwheel
fvwm



xorg.conf:
Code:
        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Name" "Autodetection"
        Option          "Vendor" "Logitech"
        Option          "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
        Option          "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:0f.0-1/input0"
        Option          "Buttons" "10"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping" "9 10"
        Option          "Resolution" "80"


and those "dev name" and "dev phys" can be seen from
Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

imwheel doesn't need to be loaded to get the 7 buttons to work, but still no 10 buttons :<

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "MX700"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "evdev"
        Option      "Dev Name"  "Logitech USB Receiver"
        Option      "Dev Phys"  "usb-0000:00:1f.2-2/input0"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
        Option      "Buttons"   "10"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "9 10"
        Option      "Resolution"        "800"
EndSection

With
Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5"

All 10 buttons work. I'm using xbindkeys to bind the top ones to cut/copy/paste, and the side ones to alt+left and alt+right. Without that, they work as back/forward in Firefox but not Konqueror (as a file browser).

Hejkki: Resolution "80" in your xorg.conf isn't probably what you were after :D
I'm not sure this actually makes any difference anyway, but you never know ;-)

Do I need to do something to make teh mouse /dev/input/event1? Cuz right now I do /dev/input/mice to get to it.

Also, my cat output looks nothing like either of yours...
