Ok, before the flames, I've read the other threads on here
I've been banging my head on this problem for about a week.
I cannot get my scrollmouse working in X Windows.
It's a fairly recently purchased Logitech MX500.
My XF86Config looks like:
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMappping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
I am not at this point interested in using imwheel (not worried about extra events, just want the scroll working)
Running xev before an xmodmap shows
- the 2 side buttons responding as button 4 and 5
- the scrollwheel does not raise an event
- none of the "extra" buttons raise an event
Running xev after running 'xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" shows:
- the 2 side buttons respond as buttons 6 & 7
- the scrollwheel does not raise an event
- none of the "extra" buttons raise an event
I've tried many different combos of XF86Configs & xmodmaps, but can't seem to get anything working wrt the scrollwheel.
I can move up and down in any window by default by using my side buttons, but it's more than a little annoying
fwiw:
- Running slack 9 something, recently moved to kernel 2.6.0-test-pre5
- Running gnome 2.something with metacity wm
- Running latest binary x build (not cvs build etc)
- have the mouse connected currently via a usb -> ps2 connector
- had tried usb before doing that with no difference in results
- had stock 2.4.20 kernel before moving to 2.6.0 test
- previously had a ms intellimouse optical working with all 5 buttons + scroll
- am not a newbie to this stuff, been running slack since v4.something
