I do not know how to fix it using the psm driver, but here is what I did with the Logitech MX 1000 I bought over the weekend. I tried using the psm driver, but it claimed a maximum of seven buttons while this mouse has twelve according to one source[1]. I then tried the ums driver, yet it also claimed only seven buttons. Fortunately, I found a NetBSD PR (kern/30248 [2]) concerning the button limit in the ums driver. Since sc_buttons is an int, I just bumped up MAX_BUTTONS to 31, and the driver found 16 buttons. xorg.conf mouse section: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/ums0 Option Buttons 12 Option Emulate3Buttons false Option ZAxisMapping 9 10 EndSection Although I disabled the moused loading in /etc/usbd.conf to allow X to capture the device, moused may still work. I doubt it, but is there a way to disable a particular check via rc.conf? With the following xmodmap command, I have a fair amount of the mouse working: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 9 10 6 7 8 4 5 11 12 Problems: 1. psm has a limit to the number of buttons detected. I noticed this when I used moused in debug mode to see what events were thrown from the mouse. 2. The wheel pushed to the left and right does not work. It does not show up in xev. I may need to play with xorg.conf some more. 3. I need to find a way to disable Logitech's Cruise Control since I want to use the scroll up button above the wheel as the paste button. Cruise Control send the button number I want (7) plus a continuous stream of the button number (4) related to the wheel. I hate pasting with a wheel; I am almost always screwing something up during the paste due to slipping on the wheel. :) 4. I have no idea what the (magic number) button positions in xmodmap correspond with. I.e., 2 means paste, but what does 4 and on mean? Would anyone like to up the MAX_BUTTONS define in ums.c to a higher number, please?

Re: Using a logitech mx700 with scrollwheel _and_ thumb buttons
Sorry, I didn't see your last message! Start xwindows with your favorite wm and in a terminal, run: imwheel -b 67 xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 If it doesn't work, it may be something else. I just redid the whole process I told and it works here.

Using a logitech mx700 with scrollwheel _and_ thumb buttons
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 __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Using a logitech mx700 with scrollwheel _and_ thumb buttons
My MX500 is working just fine. Here what I do: - Install imwheel (/usr/ports/x11/imwheel) - Add this to ~/.imwheelrc .* None, Up, Alt_L|Left,1 None, Down, Alt_L|Right,1 (null) None, Up, Alt_L|Left,1 None, Down, Alt_L|Right,1 - In my x.org http://x.org/ file.. For the InputDevice section: Option Buttons 7 Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 - Finaly, I run these two commands on Xwindows start: imwheel -b 67 xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 It works #1 with my logitech MX500 mouse (I tested on xfce4 and kde). The only problem I have is that my app button is not working but I wasn't using it in windows anyway so I don't need it. The tumbs buttons are working #1 in Firefox and Konqueror.
