You are in the same boat as I am. I have a Logitech MouseMan+ the
corded version with the wheel and 4th thumb button. Under X 3.3.2.a or
some such I was able to get the thumb to be recognized as button 6. Not
all apps recognized it but it was nice to have available. Once I
'upgraded' to X 3.3.3.1 it no longer worked. When it was working I was
using the following:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
SampleRate 133
Resolution 200
Buttons 6
ZAxisMapping 5 6
EndSection
And then using xmodmap to remap the z-axis buttons 5 and 6 to buttons 4
and 5 respectively and the thumb button from 4 to 6. This was the only
way I could get it all to work. If I mapped the zaxis to 4 and 5 I
could not get the thumb button to work. But like I said once I
'upgraded' to X 3.3.3.1, and all versions since, it no longer works and
I now use the Pointer section below. If I don't change the zaxismapping
as below I can't get the wheel to work properly as buttons 4 and 5 as I
did before.
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
SampleRate 133
Resolution 200
Buttons 6
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
I haven't had time to debug or track it down. So I am not providing a
solution here but just a long drawn out 'Me Too!'.
