i got myself one of those nice cordless Logitech MouseMan Wheel mouse.
got the wheel working fine.. trouble is, X can't see the thumb button
because left click, wheel click, wheel up, wheel down, and right click
already take up the five buttons that X supports. since X only supports
5 buttons, what i would like to do is rebind button 2, which is
currently wheel click, to the thumb button. thus, left click = button
1, thumb click = button 2, right click = button 3, wheel up = button 4,
wheel down = button 5. i read the [0]howto, and it recommends running
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 4 5"
but when i do this, i get
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad number of buttons, must have 5 instead of
6
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
and i am averse to trying 720 different permutations to see if one of
them might work.
anyone gotten this thing to work? (and if so, how)
please cc: me,
/ben
