 |
|
Hi!
You have properly heard this question before, but I cant seem to find an answer to it.. All guides I find are regarding the mousewheel - which by the way is working perfect.. But I am so missing my back (and forward, though not that much  ) buttons in firefox - how can i make these work?
Im running Gentoo 2006.1 with gnome and beryl and my mouse is a Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Thanks alot in advance!

evdev, w/ default config params... there is a wiki for it somewhere or search these forums. its easy as pie.
but... afaict, firefox auto-binds mouse buttons 6 and 7 to forward and backward navigation. use xev and modmap until the buttons you want produce the correct keypress event.
or use evdev (set to autoconfigure) |

Thnx for the answer...
The problem is im pretty new to linux/gentoo and i cant really figure out what the numbers do and how modmap does... I tried with an example i found, which resultet in my mouse-wheel being the forward/backward button... Can you possible please explain it a bit more detailed - I really cant find the howto - only a howto get the mouse wheel to function, which it does... |
