How did you make out?
I have both a MX700 and MX510 connected now and all buttons work on both. |
I own a MX510, and have been searching for a good solution to my problems for three months now. I can't get all the buttons on my MX510 to work with evdev + Xorg7.0. As it is now, the scroll is working (with scrolling and pushing) but all the other buttons behave as mouse button 1 (left button).
| My xorg: | :Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MX510"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event-mx510"
EndSection |
| My udev rules: 00-logitech.rules: | KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}="c01d", NAME="input/event-mx510", MODE="664", SYMLINK="input/%k"
KERNEL="mouse*", SYSFS{idVendor}="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}="c01d", NAME="input/mouse-mx510", MODE="664", SYMLINK="input/%k" |
| My local.start: | | logitech_applet --set-res=800 |
| My modprobe.conf: | | options usbhid mousepoll=1 |
And I don't use Xmodmap or imwheelrc or anything like that.
xev and evtest shows the buttons mapped as
1 left
2 scrollclick
3 right
4 scroll up
5 scroll down
9 upper thumb
8 lower thumb
10 application button
11 scroll upp button
12 scroll down button
This means that I have no 6 and 7, and that might be causing a problem. Any tips or tricks?

azp, you seem to have all the buttons working. Don't worry about buttons 6 and 7 as they are used for horizontal scrolling which that mouse doesn't.
Are you sure the left button isn't 3 and the scroll wheel button is 2? |

yes I was wrong..
Scrollclick is 2 and rightclick is 3. Leftclick is of course 1.
But how do I do to actually get the buttons to respond? The "back" and "forward" button by the thumb doesn't work at all =(
They just act like button 1. Actually all buttons do, except the "five" normal ones (3+scroll).
EDIT: In Enemy Territory, all "other" buttons respond to KP_EQUAL which sounds just strange..
EDIT2: It does work in Americas Army! The number of the buttons have change since before I installed xorg7, but at least they get a number. wohoo..

Until they are mapped otherwise, that is normal.

This might be a ET problem if it works in other games.

The order can appear to change when making changes to /etc/xorg.conf or upgrading to xorg 7.
There are several methods of mapping the buttons to actions. A lot depends on the desktop environment you are using and there are several threads about doing this. The important thing is that all the buttons are separately recognized in xev. Your xorg config is correct and need not be changed. |

New here, and not sure if thread bumping is frowned upon, so sorry if I was supposed to make a new thread.
I've got a new install of Gentoo. This is the first time I've ever used it outside of brief experimentation, so I'm not too familiar with it yet.
Alright...so I get Gentoo installed, and mostly everything seems to be working...except my mouse wheel. I read this thread over, and tried to follow the instructions.
Problem: No /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. There is, however, an xorg.conf.example. Will I ruin anything if I just cp xorg.conf.example xorg.conf and edit that file? And once I do have an xorg.conf, how do I force the changes to take effect? This is Linux, I'm not supposed to have to reboot.
(Yes, my fledgling install does have some serious problems with it--no sound for starters, and all those error messages at boot, but none of them are driving me UP THE FRICKING WALL like my scroll wheel not working is.)

No. you can do that and there is also two programs; xorgcfg and xorgconfig which you can use to start generating a xorg.conf file more geared to your system.

Each time the X server is started the config file is reread, so if X isn't running, justing starting it is sufficient. If X is running, CTRL-ALT-Backspace will force the X server to restart. |

Your install must have been done without following the gentoo manual. I guess you're accustomed to Linux, since you installed it without any problems (except the ones you're experiencing now), but I - without undermining your intelligence or knowledge in any way - really advice you to go through the install manual. You can selectively read the parts you need. I believe there is a chapter about the whole xorg install.
There is also a part about sound and ALSA + a whole ALSA-guide not connected to the install. One thing about gentoo is the awesome documentation!
Good luck, and break a leg! (Not your box!)
