Hey,

I bought a new mouse yesterday - Logitech RX250.
It has 7 buttons I think... You can scroll up/down and with the scroller you can go left/right.
I managed to get the scrolling ( up/down ) working with the usual xorg.conf settings:
but still I can't find how to get left/right working ?

Here is a picture of my mouse http://www.fixsacomp.com/images/productos/15046121.jpg


Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks in advance,
tftd

Hi!
I've a sphere mouse and I'm thankful if it has the scroll so I can't directly answer
but I think you need to emulate a X axis movement.
I've made a small search and found this
http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.4.html

Option "XAxisMapping" "N1 N2"
Specifies which buttons are mapped to motion in the X direction in wheel emulation mode. Button number N1 is mapped to the negative X axis motion and button number N2 is mapped to the positive X axis motion. Default: no mapping.

Maybe can help you! you have to discover the button number but I think they are sequential to the ZAxis buttons

hope this can help!
Bye

you can try btnx. just detect buttons and bind them to key_left and key_right.

Thanks for the replies !
I tried btnx but I can't find where "uinput" in the kernel is. So I can't enable it as a module ...

I have a Logitech Mx310 with 7 buttons. My xorg.conf in mouse section is:
If you run in a shell:

xev

you can understand if all your button are set correctly.

My configuration should be ok because I can swicth between application windows, but in Konqueror and Firefox 3.0.x back and forward don't work and I don't know why (maybe firefox requests a particularly compilation flag).

Hey,

Sorry for the late reply but I had some work to do...
I tried your xorg.conf code but when i clicked the buttons in "xev" they weren't detected....

Also I tried to search in 'ATA/ATAPI' the User level driver support but no luck. Probably I need to update the kernel but I'm having cpu/memory problems with newer kernels. So probably I won't find a solution of the problem


Thanks for all of your replies !

Best wishes,

wow! xev is great!
