You did? Hmm, I guess my setup just didn't like evdev... Oh well, I'm just happy I can use the buttons on my mouse

Hmm, i just not noticed that people were actually still posting in this topic! Sorry guys, hadn't noticed at all. I will try to update the guide on the first page as it's pretty messy.

I'll also try to help you guys who still havn't gotten you're devices working properly in a while (don't have time right now).

Should perhaps post it in documentation this time :/

@Taily have you tried the steps you recommended with xorg 6.8.2 to see if it's actually working?? i would really appreciate some help whenever you have time...but please do have a look at this topic once in a while since there are people who would really like to get it to work (including me)...thanks in advance and i'm looking forward to your updated guide...

Indeed i have had it working with Xorg 6.8.2, however reason i don't use it is that everything didn't work as well as in later versions, what kind of problems are you getting exactly?

i'm running xev to get my buttons recognized but it doesn't recognize them all...anyway right now i have it working without the patch but the Cruise Control button doesn't work...i don't care much about the multimedia buttons in the keyboard so much but i would like to get the mouse fully working...thanks...

any help for the Cruise Control button?? i also have read somewhere about another utility called "LineAK"...ever heard of it?? maybe i should give it a try aswell...

Up to you if you use lineak or not, for me it served no prupose as it does not help with recognition in any way, all it does is assign commands to certain key/mouse presses. And at the end of the day it's all the same if you use imwheel (i think that's the name anyway), lineakd or xbindkeys

And i strongly recomend using an xorg version above 6.8.2! (Due to evdev)

About the cruise control buttons, before my upgrade to a new motherboard (screws up with my mouse in ps/2 and linux :/) as far as i remember (didn't use them too often) were working pretty well. As for having it plugged to the usb, you could try taking a look at mmm3k

Please help, I'm getting desperate.

First off I got my keyboard and mouse "working" in xorg7
I'm using evdev driver for mouse, and kbd driver for keyboard (evdev crash gnome for keyboard)
everything except those extra keys on the keyboard works, every mousebutton gives a respond in xev
The reciever is connected to the USB port.

By default left,right,middle and wheel scroll works fine with mouse. wheel left/right works as left/right and back/forward in browser, not very pratical. The tumb buttons don't do anything, except act almost like left mouse button.

I've tried to use the xbindkeys and xvkbd to map the thumb button and the wheel left/right like:
