 Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:03 pm Post subject: 7 buttons mouse help |
 |
|
Hi, I use a logitech wireless mouse and I'd like to make the 2 buttons on the side work.
I tried doing what's in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=279577
but it doesn't work...
Here's my xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection
|
I don't seem to have xmodmap and couldn't find any configuration file that's named xmodmap or .xmodmap
Also, when I start imwheel ...:
| Code: | imwheel -k -b "67"
INFO: imwheel started (pid=30731)
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Could not open display, check shell DISPLAY variable, and export or setenv it! |
~thx for any help |

Xmodmap should come with X. Try 'whereis xmodmap'.
It is usually best to use evdev protocol with mice-of-many-buttons. Check https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=246605 and see what you can learn.
If you use a laptop, you need some additional tweaking, because xmodmap currently only recognizes one mouse at a time.
Happy tweaking, tell us how you did.

| Code: | | xmodmap: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap /usr/man/man1/xmodmap.1x.gz /usr/share/man/man1/xmodmap.1x.gz |
Strange because it doesn't come up when I type xmod*tab**tab*
I saw a thread about the Logitech MX700 too, I'll try doing what's in there and in yours.

/usr/X11R6/bin/ isn't in my binary path, either. And I don't think it should be.
Same with /opt/ati/bin/
You don't want to have too many programs show up in the bin path! |

You probably don't have /usr/X11R6/bin in your path. Try 'echo $PATH' and if it doesn't show up, put into your ~/.bashrc the line
| Code: | | PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin |

That's a good point. Well, I'll try the evdev alternative since imwheel doesn't seem to start up correctly.
I'll just call it directly with: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap/ |

The last statement is very true. However, /usr/X11R6/bin contains stuff like startx, xev, xmodmap and xkill, which certainly are all important commands to many users.

ARGGGG. I just realised they are also in /usr/bin/X11 which goes with /usr/bin in path. Please disregard all my previous messages.
