I've got myself a Kensington ExpertMouse USB trackball. The thing has
6 "special" buttons (ie. intended for exe launching, etc)
4 regular buttons
1 wheel
My current XFree86 (v 4.2.x) Config block is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TurboMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
#Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
This gives me three usable regular buttons (ie. right, left, middle),
and a working wheel. In 'xev' the remaining regular button generates a
button3 event, and none of the special buttons register at all. The
"Buttons" option doesn't seem to do much at all...
I tried the Protocol options "auto" and "usb" but X bailed with an error
that it couldn't find a working mouse (or something to that effect).
I've googled usenet and the web for a couple days now without any success.
There is a sourceforge project called jamd <http://jamd.sourceforge.net/>
that looks like it might work but it looks like its been idle for quite a
while. Ideally, I would be happy if I could export the "extra" button
events as keypresses (which could then be mapped as I chose).
Any suggestions?
