I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical Laser Mouse 6000 Pro. Linux correctly recognises 9 'buttons':

• left-click
• right-click
• middle-click
• scroll up
• scroll down
• scroll left
• scroll right
• side button 1
• side button 2

The mouse is capable of horizontal scrolling, and this works in Windows. How can I configure Linux for Horizontal scrolling?

I have played around with xev and xmodmap, and I note that the scroll left and scroll right buttons don't produce any events, so there may be some config necessary there...

Thanks in advance.

Did you ever Find an answer to your question?

No, unfortunately I didn't.

Same problem here .. XEV seems to get no mouse events for the scroll wheel whatsoever... How can this be?

Correction: For vertical scroll either.. I can not get the scroll wheel to produce any events other than its' button action

Further Correction: I ended up having a bad mouse..

search ollisalonen btnx on google

"btnx is a daemon that enables rerouting of mouse button events through uinput as keyboard and other mouse button combinations. For example, you can configure an extra mouse button to send a Ctrl+Alt+Right command to switch workspaces. This is especially useful for mice with more buttons than Gnome or KDE can properly handle, or mice that need evdev and a 100 step howto to register button events at all. btnx integrates revoco, a program that allows changing MX Revolution's wheel behavior."

But i'm same problem... I don't know soluce for made horizontal scroll with this... because i don't know what soft run for scroll when scroll button is fired.
