Double-clicking via thum-button solved!

I made my Logitech MX510 optical mouse double-click via the thum-button. If anybody is interested I can post the solution.

First you follow this guide www.linux-gamers.net. Then you install xkindkeys. Then you install mvmouse. Then you put a file called .xbindkeysrc containing the code-snippet below in your home-directory.

Code:

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""

  b:2

"~/./my_double_click.sh && ~/./my_double_click.sh &"

  b:6

You have to check which button is the thum- and wheelbutton. On my mouse it's button No. 2 and 6. Then you create a file called my_double_click.sh and put the following line in it:

Code:

mvmouse +0 +0 1 && mvmouse +0 +0 1 &

It looks as if it will produce 4 clicks but it doesn't. You have to chmod the shell-script to give it execution-rights. my_double_click.sh should also be placed in your home-directory. Then you restart your X server using the ctrl-alt-backspace keys. And that's it!
