What you have is what I started with before my first post about this. LOL! And I don't even care to use it, how's that for irony?! Howsabout we just trade comps? Here's what I found: without the xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 command, my thumb buttons scroll up and down and wheel does nothing. OK, makes sense. With this line in xinitrc it never seems to be executed, sounds like it is being overridden by something, possibly what you describe below. I would try commenting that out in xinit.d and instead having it run when *your user* starts X, rather than when the system starts X, maybe that's the difference? Shouldn't be, I know, but hey, this is X we're talking about...can be a whacko kinda thing at the best of times. BTW, do you start from runlevel 3, ie. textmode? I would highly recommend it, makes jumping in and out of X a breeze. Also, if you set vga=794 in your /etc/lilo.conf, you get a nice high res text mode with lotsa room on a big monitor, if ya got one. There are other modes, of course, set it depending on your screensize: # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 notice mine is not listed there, I discovered 794 just by playing with it. (I have a 19 monitor, and 794 sets it to 1280x1024 I believe. but I have it in a file under /etc/X11/xinit.d where it works fine. So, with this command enabled, xev recognizes the thumb buttons as 6 and 7. With imwheel running xev sees these buttons as left and right. Without imwheel, mozilla and konq respond to the thumb buttons as if I were pressing the left and right arrow keys. The same applies when imwheel is running. The only difference I see, is that without imwheel, holding alt while pressing arrow keys does nothing, but with imwheel, this results in sliding the entire page left and right. However, at no point has anything I've tried resulted in a back button press. That is truly odd. As I say, the only difference I can see is that i am running xmodmap as a user, rather than as system. A couple of questions, are you using this mouse in ps2 port or USB? It's a USB mouse, but I have it connected to PS/2 via an adapter. Also, I am running a vanilla 9.1 install with the exception of switching to ATI's video driver. Have you upgraded anything related to XFree, that might be affecting this? Only other thing I can think of is that maybe the window manager makes a difference, I guess I'll look into that next. Well, I *did* upgrade to the latest XFree when advised to, I'm a religious updater for all security and bug advisories, so I'm running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads/sylpheed-0.9.5-gtk2-20030906]$rpm -qa | grep XFree XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-libs-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-server-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-xfs-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-devel-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk but that shouldn't make any diff, nor should my WM. The important parts, so far as I can see, are: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Device /dev/psaux Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 Option Buttons 7 EndSection and the xmodmap -e added to your .xinitrc. In Mozilla and Galeon, what I find is that the side buttons indeed work as left and right arrow, without mod (alt), ie. scrolling left and right. With mod (alt), they act as forward and back in history. But since I load all links in a new window, and have them autogrouped into one frame, I can move between pages with the mousewheel, for me preferable to anything else. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++ Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++ The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be. -- Lao Tsu Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Holding alt and scrolling the mouse actually does the same thing. Now I wonder if that is what was happeing in imwheel as well. With imwheel it should be possible to map both the alt and left into one button press.

I tried it again just to make sure, but it only prevents the side buttons from working at all. I believe that protocol is for the Intellimouse version rather than the Intellimouse Explorer version. I am getting the results that I want and expected from konquerer, but mozilla seems to be interpreting the button mapping differently for some reason. If you have mozilla open and the window set narrow enough that you get a scroll bar on the bottom of the window, and press the left or right arrows on the keyboard, it scrolls the page left and right a few steps at a time. This is exactly what my mouse thumb buttons are doing. If you hold down the left alt key and press the left or right arrow keys in mozilla, it moves you back and forward a page in the history. This is what I want the mouse thumb buttons to do. Since the thumb buttons are already working as arrow keys in mozilla you would think that holding down the left alt key and pressing the thumb buttons would work the same as alt-left arrow, but instead it side scrolls by a whole page instead of a few steps. Mozilla seems to be the only program where they behave this way, in other programs the thumb buttons get the same action as holding left alt and using the arrow keys.

Personally, it seemed to wreak havoc with my WM and mousewheeling thru desktops, so I commented it out for now. I'll give it a shot later. Thanks eric, but as far as I can tell what you told me will make x see that there are 7 buttons, 5 actual, and 2 for the wheel, and map the scrolling to the wheel (buttons 6 and 7) what I'm looking for is getting the buttons 4 and 5 (thumb buttons) to perform a specific function. The first part I believe I have working already. It seems like I just need to find the correct systax for the mozilla entry in the imwheelrc file, but since none of the entries that I have found on the web seem to work the way they should, I'm not entirely sure that I have imwheel set up correctly or that imwheel is even the way to do this anymore.
