i have recently attempted to configure imwheel based on a few threads here and
http://www.groundhog1.com/mouse/MSExplorer.html and here
http://linux.netpimpz.com/mx700/ for my Intellimouse. etc/X11/XF86Config for my mouse looks like this
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "ButtonNumber" "7"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
where the only changes i made were zaxismapping and button number. i verified this with xev and continued. next i added the line
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
this also gave me no problems. after that i read that i needed to create a file in my home dir called .imwheelrc to have the mouse buttons work automatically on startup but when i tried to create a text file called that nothing happened, or so i thought. when told a path is ~/foo please tell me, is that /home/username/foo like i thought it was? because now when i try to log in on kdm i am only able to do so with failsafe. after every change i restarted X and started a new session to verify, and until the .imwheelrc i was fine. what have i broken and how can i fix it? i've been using linux for about 8 months now no problem, and then this comes along and wipes out most of the progress i've made. any help would be greatly appreciated.
