 |
|
hi all
i upgraded xorg-server to 1.9; so, there is no more hal and i need to use xorg.conf
apart from being very happy for it  i got a little problem with my trackball
i use a logitech marble mouse; apart from being very comfortable and also cool, got a very big problem: lack of mousewheel
it (was) pretty easy to configure one of the top button (button 8 and/or 9 according to xev) as middle mouse button, and the other one to emulate wheel: just click the button and use the big ball as a mousewheel
long time ago i configured xorg.conf by putting this section in it:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MarbleMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Name" "Logitech Marble Mouse USB"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
# Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
# Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "6"
# Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 2 9"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 9 3 8 2"
EndSection
|
Then came hal, so i had to configure some .fdi in hal
now there is xorg 1.9 so i checked this guide http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.8-upgrade-guide.xml and deleted xorg.conf and created a xorg.conf.d directory where i put a file named 15-marblemouse.conf:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MarbleMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Name" "Logitech Marble Mouse USB"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
# Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
# Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "6"
# Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 2 9"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 9 3 8 2"
MatchIsPointer "on"
EndSection |
and i got this problems:
a) when i type startx, just don't start. it says me "MatchIsPointer is not a valid keywords in this section"
b) if i comment this section mouse is working BUT emulate mouse wheel does'nt
c) if i put back the old xorg.conf, is same thing than (b): it does'nt work (act as a normal mouse without mousewheel)
so at the moment i'm stuck with a trackball without mouse wheel;
i tried googling here and there but all i found is something really old, and using solutions similar to my old xorg.conf
does anyone has this mouse and found a way to use it properly?
this is work laptop so i really don't whant to buy an extra expensive trackball with mousewheel for it, and neither whant to come back to plain old mouse...
ty all for your help
