Just got this mouse, and I seem to have a dead button. The mouse has 8 buttons: the 2 usual buttons, a wheel (i.e. 3 more), one on either side of the mouse, and one just behind the wheel (image here: <http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/26-104-136-03.JPG>). I looked around and figured out how to get all buttons going in XFree, which consisted of this in my XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Logitech MX310" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "ZAxisMapping" "7 8" EndSection And then feeding this to xmodmap to swap 4/5 and 7/8 around so the wheel becomes buttons 4/5 (so it works normally in apps), and the two side buttons become 7 and 8: pointer = 1 2 3 7 8 6 4 5 So at this point I have the usual buttons 1 through 5, plus 7 on the left side and 8 on the right. However... button 6, the little button behind the wheel, doesn't work. xev reports nothing. Running hexcat on /dev/input/mice produces nothing whatsoever when pressing this button. So assuming that the kernel doesn't even seem to know that this button is being pressed, I'm guessing either: 1. The mouse is extremely funkily designed and only activates that button when certain conditions are met, i.e. installing their software in windows. However, there have been so many lots-o-buttons mice that work fine under unix-alikes and XFree, that I can't imagine they'd do that for this one mouse that I decided to buy. Another possibility is that it sends really weird things usb when that button is pressed; things that the kernel doesn't understand and therefore doesn't pass on. 2. My mouse is just broken. 3. I'm missing something really big? Changing the protocol XFree uses has no effect, as one would expect. No matter what, that button is totally silent.. So.. Anyone out there have this mouse? It's fairly new, so there's nothing on google except sites selling it and reviews and things of that nature. I would really like to get this button working! I'm still pondering what exactly I should bind all of these buttons to. :D TIA, -- Nick Welch aka mackstann | mack @ incise.org | http://incise.org Some don't prefer the pursuit of happiness to the happiness of pursuit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
