 Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2005 12:19 am Post subject: MS Intellimouse 3.0 - Scrollwheel and Side buttons [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Greetings all,
In another recent installation Gentoo I recall having my MS Intelli Mouse working with all buttons configured the way they should be. As I recall, I accomplished this by doing the following:
In xorg.conf
| Code: |
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
|
And in ~/.fluxbox/startup
| Code: |
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
xset m 0 0
|
Unfortunately, using this same technique now does not work whereas before it did. Another thread suggested the use of imwheel, but I explicitely remember never needing to use imwheel in my last install. Where should I go to look next.
Thanks in advance.

You can always try your buttons using xev.. That way you can see if they get mapped correctly.. I have a 10 buttons logitech, with all but one button working using something called evdev. It's great =)

Using xev I've discovered the keys aren't being mapped correctly. the side buttons are triggering "button2" and "button3". The scrollwheelup and scrollwheel down aren't mapped at all.
I assume evdev is not in portage and I'd have to get it elsewhere. Is this what you are referring to: http://www.frogmouth.net/hid-doco/c537.html |

Evdev is a kernel feature, under device drivers -> input device support -> Event Interface
I've compiled it as a module, and load it at start. Then my xorg.conf looks like this:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:02.0-2/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "9 10"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

I got my scroll-wheel working with my Logitech usb-mouse by loading the module uhci_hcd.

Actually, I still load that module.. Hmm, I don't think I need it anymore now =)
I did need it before however. What modules do you load jtwJGuevara?

Thanks for the replies guys. I took a mini vacation for the 4th of July and when I came back my cable connection was borked. All is resolved there.
Anyway, UHCI HCD is built into my kernel (2.6.11). EHCI HCD is also built into the kernel. Are there other kernel features I should build in or modularize for this?
Thanks again. |

It was pretty stupid of me to think that the module wasn't needed, of course I need a USB-interface. I unloaded it and the mouse stopped working =)

Well, apparently the only problem was that I don't know how to read. I went back to this old form post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=21251&highlight=mouse+accel and re-read it and noticed that I had my ZAxisMapping as "4 5" when it should have been "6 7". This solved my problem.
Nonetheless, thanks for your help everyone. |
