 Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 2:54 am Post subject: MX510 Howto? |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I recently got a new Logitech MX510 mouse and I must say it's great  However so far I've been unable to get all the buttons working right. I put the following in my xorg config:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
This makes my mouse work. However the extra buttons on the side dont work, and the 3 other small buttons on the mouse are mapped to the same buttons as middle scroll up, middle scroll down and left click (Ive tested this with xev). I'm wondering does anyone know anyway I could get to use all the buttons on the mouse for shortcuts?
Any help is appreciated!

I have the same mouse
This is what I use in my xorg and it seems to work very well:
| Code: | Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "ButtonNumber" "7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Name" "USB-Mouse;ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" |
After you edit that, be sure to emerge imwheel and have this run when you start your graphical session (such as openbox and etc)
| Code: | | xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" |
I hope the above works, but if it doesn't just play around with those numbers and look at other people's configuratio files on this forum. It didn't take me long to figure out the best setting. I still don't have my top scrolling button working, but I don't use those tiny buttons anyways.
Also, our mouses support faster than usual polling. This is very handy if you play fast games, check out this thread for more info:

Hope that helps. |

You can do the same without imwheel. I don't have it installed. Just run xmodmap as described and your scrollwheel will work fine.
And the polling kernel patch is nice. I think I play UrT better with it, which isn't saying much.

Don't mean to go offtopic, but just curious, how are the pings over there in Hawaii when playing fps games in American/Europe?
I use nitro-sources and it has that patch built in already. It helps me too. |

Hey guys thanks for the replies. I have been searching around and have tried this method before to get my buttons working. AFter following what you described I have been able to get all my buttons working. However not in the right order. Hence why Im meant to use xmodmap, however it gives me this error which is really confusing:
| Code: |
pierce@zim ~ $ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad number of buttons, must have 12 instead of 7
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
|
Why does it think I have 12 buttons? Thanks for the help!

Infiniteedge, in fact mouse button support sucks in 6.8.2, But complaining in this forum won't help.
Never mind, you got my point.

| Yeah my buttons aren't perfect either, but not bad enough to complain. The little tiny scrolling buttons by the scroll wheel don't work, but I don't really care. |

|
|
okay count em:
1 leftclick
2 rightclick
3 middleclick
4mousewheel up
5mousewheel down
6 sidebutton1
7 sidebutton2
8 topbuttonforward
9 topbuttonbackward
10 appswitchbutton
So why are you guys using 7?
here's my xorg after trolling around this forum:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX 510"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ButtonNumber" "10"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "resolution" "800"
EndSection
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 8 9 10"
And everything works except those pesky top buttons! Has anyone gotten them to work? |

Hmmm, could be a change to the ExplorerPS/2 driver.
If I remember correctly, the ExplorerPS/2 driver at one time only supported up to 5 or 7 buttons and that to use all the buttons you had to use the event driver.
If this has changed, that would be nice, but for anyone else, using the event driver should let you get control of all your mouse buttons. |

You should not configure the top buttons as they are only an extension of your scroll wheel, when not configured in corg.conf they should work.
My config (I don't use the app switch button as it annoys me )
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MX700"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
|
~/.Xmodmap
| Code: | pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5
|
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/MX700
| Code: | setpointer MX700
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
killall -9 imwheel
/usr/bin/imwheel -k -b "45" &

/carlito, the buttons around the scroll wheel work perfectly with the evdev driver.
If when you press one of the buttons, you get two events, 1 the same as the scroll wheel and another one, you need to use the logitech_applet to disable cruise control. | Code: | | /usr/sbin/logitech_applet --disable-cc |
P.S. with the evdev driver in xorg-6.9.XX or xorg-7.X everything works without any changes. (.xprofile, logitech_applet, etc) |

Is the group settings for the mouse device node=kdemouse? (Or applicable permissions to accomplish same thing) |

You have to make the kdemouse group and use a custom udev rule to make kdemouse the group for the mouse device nodes.
pholthau, I wouldn't bother with this as there isn't much you can configure there anyways.
If you still want to, post the output of lsusb and I'll give you a udev rule. (I can't post my because it is specific to a MX700) |

pholthau, add the following line to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules and then restart udev, by typing udevstart as root. | Code: | | BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="046d", SYSFS{idProduct}="c01d",NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/MX510", GROUP="kdemouse", MODE="0664" |
Of course you have to create the kdemouse group also and have the user in that group first. | Code: | groupadd kdemouse
gpasswd -a username kdemouse |
Change username to your user login name. |

How did you make out?
I have both a MX700 and MX510 connected now and all buttons work on both. |

hm... my buttons work because of this:
| Code: |
pholthau@illidan ~ $ cat .Xmodmap
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5
pholthau@illidan ~ $ cat .xprofile
xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
|
but the resolution still stays at 400...
do i have to change xorg.conf to use /dev/input/MX510 ??
the udev rule seems to work:
| Code: |
illidan pholthau # ls -l /dev/input/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 10 15:50 MX510 -> usbdev3.2
crw------- 1 root root 13, 64 Feb 10 14:21 event0
crw------- 1 root root 13, 65 Feb 10 14:21 event1
crw------- 1 root root 13, 66 Feb 10 14:21 event2
crw-rw-r-- 1 root kdemouse 13, 67 Feb 10 14:21 event3
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 63 Feb 10 14:21 mice

That doesn't cause the buttons to work, it just assigns keycodes to the buttons and changes the button order.

You shouldn't have to change anything in xorg.conf.
It does not work in kcontrol?
kcontrol was emerged with the logitech-mouse USE flag?
Is logitech-applet emerged?
The user is in the kdemoouse group?
Are the logitech options in kcontrol greyed out, or accessible but don't change anything?
Does this work from the command line as root: | Code: | | logitech_applet -s 800 |

| hm i think you misunderstood my problem. the kcontrol options are there and they work (as well as logitech_applet). the only thing is, that i have to adjust the mouse resolution everytime at startup or mouse plug in. |

I understood, but it is always good to clarify things. It not only helps make sure we are talking about the same thing but will help others who read this or may have issues with this in the future.
Saving the options works fine here and is restored correctly. Sounds like maybe a corrupt preference file in ~/.kde
Either try backing up ~/.kde and see if the problem persists when a clean ~/.kde is created when you re-login, or create a new user and login in with that user. If either works, we know it is a preference file and we just need to find the correct file. |
