Using a Logitech MX700 mouse with FC1
I've got a Logitech MX700 mouse, and it has 8 buttons. When I was using Mandrake, 7 of these buttons would be detected, providing I added the following line in XF86Config
Option "Buttons" "7" then I restart X11 and launch "xev" on a term window, and 7 buttons work (the 8th button, the app switcher isn't recognized even with changing the above line to reflect 8 buttons--must be a driver thing) HOWEVER, In Fedora, even if I make the above change, xev will only recognize 5 of my buttons--the left,right,scroll and the scroll_up/arrow_up and scroll_down/arrow_down button. The two buttons on the left hand side aren't detected in xev. If anyone has any success with this, please let me know! |
Got the same mouse and using FC1 as well.
Same issue here pal ... |
I poked around some more forums and went on #fedora on freenode
Looks like the solution is 3-fold 1) change Option "Protocol" to "ExplorerPS/2" 2) change Option "Buttons" to "7" 3) change Option "ZAxisMaping" to "6 7" (this may not be necessary) reload X11 then open up a terminal window and type xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" Everything works! Now, if I could only get imwheel to work in firebird, I'd be all set!!!!! |
which section of XF86Config do I add this to? I have two of them:
One has the input as /dev/input/mice and the other has /dev/psaux I tried to make the identifier in both be Logitech MX700, but for some reason that killed X when I rebooted and I had to rerun Xf86config. Thanks for the help! Eric |
You can't have spaces in your Identifier I believe, which is why X crapped out. Make the changes to both of them--one of them will be the correct one :-P
imwheel works great too..just had to find the right settings |
