I got the mouse installed quite easily thanks to previous threads, BUT I havent been able to use the side buttons <forward & back> to work. when I was using the XF86Config everybody else has been using: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Logitech MX700" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection I was unable to scroll with the wheel, but the side buttons would scroll, so I changed ZAxisMapping to "4 5" and that allowed me to scroll with the wheel, but buttons 6 and 7 become unusable. I don't care about using them for back-and-forth, but would like to get them working so I can use them on my games (as they aren't detected) ... < I LOVE CVSWINEX !! > Thanx in advance....
