did what the guide suggested but i couldn't start KDE afterwards...trying to startx gives an error
Code:
cannot register MX1000 with evdev brain
what kind of error is that?? in addition i tried to get back to my old configuration but i can't get the mouse scroll to work even though my settings in xorg.conf are the same...i didn't compile the kernel without the event interface support but do you think that my problem relies there?? and finally is there any way i could just unpatch the kernel if i wanted?? or i should have saved the last .config in order to move back to my previous settings??

I have created a utility for my Logitech Media Mouse that works great. It reads raw USB events.
I suppose this could also work for the keyboard, but I may need some feedback to get that working.

The location for the utility is
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2854500.html#2854500

Support for that utility is located at
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2854506.html#2854506

Be sure to post any questions you have at the SUPPORT forum as that's the only one I automatically
monitor. Requests to this forum regarding help for mmm3k will NOT be answered.

IIRC the evdev brain error happens when you dont use the right device node. It has to be one of the /dev/input/evdev nodes and not /dev/inputmice,mouseX etc

Well where are you stuck atm?

A quick summary of what you need to do:
1) Apply the kernel patch and boot into the new kernel
2) Switch to xorg 6.9/7.0
3) Connect the mouse and keyboard via ps2 ports
4) Add the following sections to you xorg.conf
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier                   "MX1000"
   Driver                       "evdev"
   #Option "Dev Name"           "Logitech USB Receiver"
   #Option "Dev Phys"            "usb-0000:00:1d.2-2/input1"
   Option "Device"              "/dev/input/event3"
   Option "Buttons"             "12"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier                 "MX3100"
   Driver                     "kbd"
   #Option "Dev Name"         "Logitech USB Receiver"
   #Option "Dev Phys"          "usb-0000:00:1d.2-2/input0"
   #Option "Device"           "/dev/input/event1"
   Option                     "XkbModel" "logiinkse"
   Option                     "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection


Don't forget to modify your ServerLayout section accordingly.
6) It may be a good idea to have an extra mouse and keyboard connected via USB and set to be the primary input devices until you have the mx3100 working. This ensures that X will start

Code:
2) Switch to xorg 6.9/7.0
in the first post of this topic is says that i do not necessarily need to switch to xorg modular...so i followed the steps for doing this in xorg 6.8.2-r6...isn't this compatible??

Well, it would be easier for me to help you with your problems if you were using modular X. However, switching to modular X is not trivial. You should be prepared to spend some time and energy getting things to work. Also, several packages in portage are not ported to modular X, so some things will break.

As I said it didn't work for me with 6.8, but then, I didn't try too hard either.

Ok, I got this thing working perfectly:
1. I applied the patch and recompiled my kernel (I'm using Nitro-Sources 2.6.14)
2. I dropped back to command-line, and unmasked xorg-x11 6.8.99
Code:
# echo "=x11-base/xorg-x1-6.8.99.15-r4" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

3. I emerged xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4
Code:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =x11-base/xorg-x1-6.8.99.15-r4 #replace ~x86 with your arch

4. I rebooted, and then edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Here's my mouse settings:
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Mouse1"
   Driver   "evdev"
   Option "Device"      "/dev/input/event1"
   Option "Buttons" "12"
   Option "Dev Phys" "isa0060/serio1/input0"
   Option "Dev Name" "PS2++ Logitech MX Mouse"
   Option "Resolution"   "256"
EndSection

and started xdm
Code:
# /etc/init.d/xdm start


and added this to my ~/.xbindkeysrc
Code:
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x10 + b:9
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x10 + b:10

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Page_Up]""
x:0x10 + b:11
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Page_Down]""
x:0x10 + b:12


"mpc toggle"
c:162
"mpc next"
c:153
"mpc prev"
c:144
"mpc stop"
c:164
"amixer -c 0 set PCM,0 2%+"
c:176
"amixer -c 0 set PCM,0 2%-"
c:174


and bada-boom, done, with working forward-back buttons and cruiscontrol.

i can't get it to work...i followed the instructions to the letter but couldn't get the desired result...first i patched my kernel and then compiled it with event interface support built in the kernel...then emerged xvkbd and xbindkeys, edited my xorg.conf and put those lines suggested by you in the mousefix.sh...is this the right order i should do it?? i did reboot into the new compiled kernel after compiling it...anything else i should do?? i am using xorg 6.8.2...

you gotta use 6.8.99 and up. the rest don't work with evdev. I had that exact problem before i upgraded and 6.8.99 is quite stable so far.

the HOWTO that covers using evdev on 6.8.2 only works on 2.6.12 kernels as far as i can tell. All I know is that 6.8.99 is stable enough on my setup (and works perfectly with evdev) and that evdev didn't work on 6.8.2.

according to another user mentioned in the other topic he uses xorg 6.8.2 and gentoo-sources 2.6.14...there has to be a way logically...

if your so adamant on using 6.8.2, go ahead and fight with it. I was simply saying that switching to 6.8.99 was easiest for me. I know it's a huge thing to compile, but if you want those buttons to work, i don't think there's any other way. You have the same problem I had. I fought for like 2-3 days with my computer before I switched. And for me, xorg-x11 only takes about half an hour to an hour to compile, if that.
