Ok, I bought that queer thing:
http://www.trust.com/products/default.aspx?item=14914
And I have some problems to get the side-buttons working. First a graphical description of the mouse-buttons:
| Code: |
-----------
| 1 2 |

| 3 |
| 5 6 |
| 4 |

7| |
8| |

The mouse-wheel is scrollable up and down and clickable to the left and to the right. There's no middle mouse-button. The official description says something of 7 mouse-buttons and this is what evdev recognizes too (more or less).
First I tried xev to identify the buttons but xev gives me for several buttons the same keycodes. Then I found this programm evtest.c. With it you can test the real keycodes even if xev doesn't recognize it correctly. After a short test I found out, that several buttons use 2 codes. I guess the windows driver identifies the buttons in a manner that it test if one code is sent and another not.
Example:
Keycode 273 and keycode 275 means the middle side button (Button 8 ) is pressed
Keycode 273 and not keycode 275 means the right button (Button 2) is pressed
Not keycode 273 and keycode 275 means the lower side button (Button 9) is pressed
xev finds only the second code if there are more codes than one available.
And now the recognition table of the events:
(Columns: Mouse-Button of my graphics, Identifier what xev finds, the rest are the issues of event.c) | Code: |
Mouse-Button xev Type Code Value (Down/Up)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 1 (Key) 272 (LeftBtn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2 3 1 (Key) 273 (RightBtn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3 4 2 (Relative) 8 (Wheel) 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4 5 2 (Relative) 8 (Wheel) -1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5 6 1 (Key) 274 (Middle Btn) 1 0
5 6 1 (Key) 275 (Side Btn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6 7 1 (Key) 274 (Middle Btn) 1 0
6 7 1 (Key) 276 (Extra Btn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
7 7 1 (Key) 276 (Extra Btn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
8 6 1 (Key) 273 (RightBtn) 1 0
8 6 1 (Key) 275 (Side Btn) 1 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
9 6 1 (Key) 275 (Side Btn) 1 0

The problem is now that the programms react to all the mouse events. For example: Opera uses the mouse events side button and extra button to navigate next and back (keycodes 275 and 276). Also it uses the same buttons to paste some text (keycode 274). If I want to paste some text and press the mouse wheel to the left, opera pastes the text and in the same moment it calls the page visited before.
Thus I guess I have to remap / route the codes to different key events. Searching the net I found evrouter. But that's not exactly what I need. Because I don't think, evrouter can handle logical expressions of the mouse events (a && !b). Unfortunately evdev isn't able to handle this.
So how to get the side buttons working?
Config:
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf: |
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "HOLTEK Wired Laser Mouse"
|
| /proc/bus/input/devices: |
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05fe Product=3002 Version=0110
N: Name="HOLTEK Wired Laser Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.1-3/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

Options in xorg.conf like Buttons, evBits, keyBits, relBits, ButtonMapping don't change anything. |
