 |
|
Hello!
I had to replace my good old wired mouse with a new one and got a Trust GXT 923 Ybar mouse.
Unfortunately, the buttons close to the thumbs that are often used to navigate backward/forward are not working.
I used xev and evtest to capture events, but nothing shows up with those 2 buttons.
The other buttons generates an event:
- Button 1 (left click)
- Button 2 (wheel middle click)
- Button 3 (right click)
- Button 4 (wheel up)
- Button 5 (wheel down)
I am running Linux Kernel 6.6.30 and haven't found any "Trust" specific drivers.
My kernel is configured with those options:
| Code: | CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_HID=y
CONFIG_HIDRAW=y
CONFIG_UHID=m
CONFIG_HID_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_HID_ELAN=y
CONFIG_HID_LENOVO=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_HID_PID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_I2C_HID=y
|
My previous (but now broken) mouse forward/backward buttons used to work!
Any idea on how making them work?[/code] |

Using https://github.com/DIGImend/usbhid-dump, I managed to see that something is happening when pressing those buttons:
| Code: | Left button:
04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Middle (wheel) button:
04 04 00 00 00 00 00 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Right button
04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Wheel up:
04 00 00 00 00 00 01 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Wheel down:
04 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
"forward":
04 10 00 00 00 00 00 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
"backward":
04 08 00 00 00 00 00 00
04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |
But the last 2 sequences does not trigger anything when debugging with xev and evtest. As if the link between them and the fact that it corresponds to buttons click is not "configured". |

| Could be that these buttons are programmable and require manual configuration to do anything useful. According to its product page, there seems to be some kind of "driver" software available for your mouse, but only for Windows. Maybe it works via Wine. |

I have no intention to use Wine just for this...
I tried to enable all CONFIG_HID_* in Kernel's configuration in case one of them would be compatible, but unfortunately, it didn't work. |
