I'm running xorg 6.7.0, and no matter what I've tried with my xorg.conf, it's not recognizing my Kensington Expert Mouse trackball's buttons correctly... it treats both left buttons as Button 1, both right buttons as button 3, and chording left and right as Button 2 (despite that I have don't have emulate3buttons on.)

Here's the relevant snippet from my xorg.conf:
Code:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "Buttons" "4"

EndSection


I've also tried protocol "Auto" (same behavior) and "ThinkingMousePS/2" (it didn't recognize it and I couldn't startx).

I had this working on XFree86. Anyone have any hints?

Thanks.

i have a logitech trackball and even though not all buttons work ( the browserback/forward buttons don´t!) left, right, middle, page up/down and scroll-wheel do!

this is what mine looks like:

Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection
