Hello,
I have a logitech mx700 - it has a scrollwheel and two
thumb buttons (designed for forward and back in your
browser) as well as some other launch button on the
top that I guess is for launching an app.
I am using FBSD 5.4-RELEASE with xorg installed from
the ports tree.
I have tried many, many different combinations of
settings in /etc/rc.conf, xorg.conf and .xinitrc. The
results are always the same:
- I can use the scrollwheel just fine
- first three mouse buttons work just fine
- the other three (two thumb buttons and the app
button) _always_ generate the same mousebutton event
So for instance, at first I had:
moused_flags="-z 4" in /etc/rc.conf
and I had:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection
in my xorg.conf
and I had:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 6 7"
in my .xinitrc
Checking button events in xev, under this config,
shows that upwheel is 4, downwheel is 5 (and yes, the
wheel worked) and all three other buttons (two thumbs
and app button) were all button 5.
so then I removed the -z line from /etc/rc.conf, and
added this to my xorg.conf:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Same behavior. wheel works, the other three are all
event button 5.
So the only semi-success I had was when I changed my
ZAxisMapping line to:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
When I did this, wheelup is 4, wheeldown is 5, the
little pseudo buttons above and below the wheel now
create the following combo events of 6,4 and 5,5
respectively, and my two thumb buttons and app button
now all produce button 7.
-----
So what can I do here ? No matter how I rearrange my
settings, the two thumb buttons and the app button
always produce the same button event. Whether it is 5
or 7, it is always the same.
Does anyone have a Logitech mx700 mouse, in FreeBSD
5.x, with xorg, running properly with the wheel and
the thumb buttons ?
thanks, jarsh
