Right button not registering on Logitech Laser mouse
I have a new Logitech Laser cordless mouse with the mini-receiver, V450 Nano. Anyway, I find the right button (secondary click) doesn't work. Using xev i can see button 1 is left button, 2 is scroll wheel push, 4 and 5 are scroll wheel up and down and 6 and 7 are scroll tilt. Right button registers nothing.
Now, if I install mousetweaks and enable secondary click, I can make the right button work if I hold the left button down first and also if i hold and press the left button. These two actions/combination show up as button 3 in xev. Everything else works, including scroll wheel and horizontal scroll.
I've tried adding an xorg.conf file and playing around with that but without the button 3 action to start with, it seems a bit pointless.
Anyone know where to start with fixing this?
Its on a Fedora 10 clean install, the mouse is brand new.
Thanks for the reply. You are using this with Ubuntu or Fedora 10? I checked it with Ubuntu and some of the buttons don't work there either. No right button at all and the left only works intermittently. I will check it on a Windows machine later and see how that goes.
