now i have the extra buttons working on firefox and such so i can scroll and click backwards and forwards and such but is there a way to do this in KDE itself?

Windows has the intelipoint software which provides this under windows, is there something like this for Linux, or is a case of i have over looked something setting wise?

Thanks

maybe try using Search you just might get some results

and what if i did search first and what i found didnt work? guess that didnt cross your mind

If that was the case then you should have mentioned it up front.

This is what you were expected to find while searching.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Advance...t_Intellimouse - that is what i followed to get it working in the first place but still the side buttons on the mouse dont work in kde firefox fine - kde not fine


File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 8 9"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7 10 11"
EndSection

That should give you working back and forward capability in Firefox with the side buttons, while preserving normal functionality of all your other buttons/wheels.


as it says though just firefox, more reading needs to be done i think
