Problems getting all buttons in intellimouse working using imwheel & xmodmap
I'm trying to get the side buttons working on my ms intellimouse under sarge. Previously under yoper, I had set XF86Config-4 to a 7 button mouse with ZAxisMapping to "6 7", run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" and then run imwheel to map the side buttons to something useful. However this isn't working under sarge. Here's where I'm at: I'm running on a laptop with a touchpad & a MS intellimouse attached by USB. The mouse section of XF86Config-4 looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents""true" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection The odd thing is that the touchpad doesn't work atall, and the /dev/psaux device seems to be my USB intellimouse - since changing the original config of the /dev/psaux mouse from 5 to 7 buttons caused the scrollwheel on the intellimouse to stop working. So, question 1 is why does the USB mouse show up as /dev/psaux and can I change this? Could this be the cause of my problems (below)? With this setup xev shows the following button mappings: left mouse = button 1 click scrollwheel - button 2 right mouse = button 3 scroll down = button 7 scroll up = button 6 left side button = button 2 right side button = button 3 I then run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" Now, xev shows left, right & scrollwheel clicks to be the same. However the scrolling down now shows as button 7, then if I carry on scrolling button 5. Likewise scrolling up shows initally as button 6 then, if I carry on scrolling, button 4. The side buttons still act as buttons 2 & 3. Obviously running imwheel doesn't work because the button mappings are still messed up. As an experiment I tried changing the protocol to ExplorerPS/2. This time before the xmodmap line, the side buttons acted as buttons 4 and 5. However after running the xmodmap line, a single scroll up gives a press/release of both button 4 & 6. A single scroll down gives press/releases of buttons 5 and 7. The side buttons give the same events as a scroll up or down. So, why does the xmodmap line not work? And why does scrolling activate as 2 buttons? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If gdm is Debian-compliant, it should use .xsession.

So two solutions : Indeed if your mouse is a PS/2 this is the entry you should have: Section "Pointer" Protocol"IMPS/2" Device "/dev/psaux" ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Never use "Emulate3Buttons", it spoils the wheel behaviour.

Re: imwheel
I'm assuming that since your KDE apps work correctly you have the ZAxisMapping line in you XF86Config. You don't need imwheel to make the wheel work with netscape, just use this Xdefaults file kindly provided to me by Andrea Vettorello: http://linux.wku.edu/~rvf/Xdefaults.gz You just need to gunzip into your home directory and add the following line to your ~/.xsession file: xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults -Rob On Sat, Dec 30, 2000 at 10:50:59PM -0800, Mircea Luca wrote: > Hi > > I'm running unstable ,KDE2 ,gdm,kernel 2.4test12,X4 .

Hi I'm running unstable ,KDE2 ,gdm,kernel 2.4test12,X4 . My problem is simple.The wheel won't work in Netscape unless I open an xterm and start imwheel .The wheel works fine otherwise in other KDE apps altough if I do an "ps aux | grep imwheel " it will show only the grep which means AFAIK that imwheel doesn't work. I tried to make .xinitrc and exec imwheel -that didn't work . I know it's not related to kernel since it did the same thing with 2.2.18 and without devfs Any ideas welcome

Your "-R raw" is likely getting destroyed by repeat_type=imps2 Here's mine: gpm configuration: device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= repeat_type=raw type=imps2 append="" And your pointer selection doesn't need a baud rate set.

Re: IMWheel help
I use: gpm: mouse type imps2 coming off /dev/psaux, repeat type "raw" x windows: mouse type imps2 coming off /dev/gpm I never have to restart gpm. The only time I have a problem is when interrupts are missed for unrelated reasons; that sends the mouse driver into a funny mode, from which you can recover by rolling the mouse wheel back and forth a couple times.

Re: IMWheel help
I realize that the mouse won't work in both gpm and X (without the repeat function) in many cases, but it does for me so I haven't really questioned it (!) /dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/psaux, of course. I have a problem with gpm occasionally not working correctly, but '/etc/init.d/gpm restart' always fixes that.

Re: IMWheel help
I notice in your config that you don't have gpm being used as a repeater device (I.E. the -R option). That won't work will it? I've always had to make gpm repeat and have X use /dev/gpmdata in order to make gpm and X work correctly with the mouse. How can you get gpm and X to both work without that option? Is your /dev/mouse a symlink to /dev/psaux as I am assuming? I was able to get the scrolling wheel to work if I disabled gpm and used the IMPS/2 protocol in the X config file (along with the ZAxisMapping), but I couldn't get it to work with /dev/gpmdata and MouseSystems protocol, which are the two I've always had to use to get X and gpm to play nice. Is there another way?

Re: IMWheel help
rob, i'm sure people will barf at what i'm about to say... i've found imwheel to be a bad program. i had trouble with what got "wheel focus". for example, if netscape worked with the wheel, then my xterms wouldn't, and vice versa. here's a better idea: 1. put a z-axis mapping line in your xfree86config file 2. make sure you're using the imps/2 protocol 3. there's a webpage -- forget the guy's name, but his first (or maybe last?) name is colas and he's from france. he has an extensive page on wheelie mice. he has config lines you can put in .Xdefaults to take care of programs, like netscape, which do not support wheelie mice. this worked beautifully for me. much better than the imwheel package. btw, many programs already support the wheelie mouse -- xterm and friends (rxvt, eterm, etc), star office, etc. there's only a few important ones (netscape comes to mind) which don't. pete linux To err is human, to forgive is divine.

IMWheel help
I'm trying to get m MS wheel mouse to work in X, but am having no luck. I've gotten everything working but the wheel, and I'm tried installing imwheel and reading the docs, but the wheel still doesn't work. I'm using the mouse in X via gpm (/dev/gpmdata), and nothing I have tried has worked. I've looked at the scrolling wheel help page, but it didn't help either. According to the imwheel homepage, imwheel is supposed to come with a special version of gpm, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Debian package. Can anyone help my get the wheel working? Do I need that special version of gpm? Any help would be appreciated. Rob
imwheel
I still am having problems getting my wheel mouse to work in Netscape and other programs. Several weeks ago I downloaded imwheel and added the following code to my ~/.Xdefaults file. This caused the wheel to work like a third button, but it also caused the undesired result of limiting the range of fonts available to me in my Netscape display: !## NETSCAPE Netscape*drawingArea.translations: #replace\ : ArmLink() \n\ : ArmLink() \n\ ~Shift: ActivateLink() \n\ ~Shift: ActivateLink(new-window) \ DisarmLink() \n\ Shift:ActivateLink(save-only) \ DisarmLink() \n\ Shift:ActivateLink(save-only) \ DisarmLink() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DisarmLinkIfMoved() \n\ : DescribeLink() \n\ : xfeDoPopup()\n\ : ActivatePopup() \n\ Ctrl: PageUp()\n\ Ctrl: PageDown()\n\ Shift: LineUp()\n\ Shift: LineDown()\n\ None: LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()\n\ None: LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(forward)\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(back)\n Netscape*globalNonTextTranslations: #override\n\ Shift: LineUp()\n\ Shift: LineDown()\n\ None:LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()LineUp()\n\ None:LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()LineDown()\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(forward)\n\ Alt: xfeDoCommand(back)\n Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Re: Logitech Trackman and imwheel?
Hi Aaron, Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me a few things please: - Are you using stable or unstable? - Are you running imwheel? - Could you copy me the 'Pointers' section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config Mebbe I can work out what the difference between your and my system is from that - thanks, Steve On Mon, Sep 06, 1999 at 07:18:41PM -0400, Aaron Solochek wrote: > My logitech mouseman's wheel just works, I didn't do anything special at > all.

Re: Logitech Trackman and imwheel?
My logitech mouseman's wheel just works, I didn't do anything special at all. It works in less, and it works in netscape. I believe it also works in other things but I can't recall right now. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 7 Sep 1999, Steve George wrote: > Hi, > > I bought a new Logitech Trackman Marble+ today and was wondering if anyone > knows how to get the middle button wheel working. > > I have the trackman installed and using the Intellimouse protocol fine - all > three buttons work. > > I thought that I might be able to get the wheel running by using the imwheel > application.

Logitech Trackman and imwheel?
Hi, I bought a new Logitech Trackman Marble+ today and was wondering if anyone knows how to get the middle button wheel working. I have the trackman installed and using the Intellimouse protocol fine - all three buttons work. I thought that I might be able to get the wheel running by using the imwheel application. I got the source compiled/installed fine but nothing happens when I launch it from within X with imwheel -k Am I on the right path here? Can anyone explain how to use imwheel I think I'm a bit confused! Thanks, Steve
