Hi,

I have the following problem when playing Quake (quakeforge binaries) on my Ubuntu Breezy system. The thing is, that I have a basic Logitech wheel mouse. In quake config, my mouse keys are bind as follows: mouse1 is attack, mouse2 is jump. So when I am trying to perform the rocket jump pressing both buttons at the same time, nothing happens. My guess is that this is due to Emulate 3 buttons option (when I press mouse1 and mouse2 at the same time it acts as mouse3) which is enabled in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

So in my understanding basicully my mouse is a 3 button mouse (wheel is mouse3 when pressed), so this emulation is kinda useless? If I disable Emulate3Buttons and add Option "Buttons" "3" will it solve my problem or mess up my system completely?

Yeah, you don't need Emulate3Buttons, you can delete that line. But you want Option "Buttons" "5", since the wheel counts as two buttons.

Hi,

Thanks for your tips, but this didn't help. I removed Emulate3Buttons line and added Option "Buttons" "5", but still facing the same problem in quakeforge qw. Anything else I could try?

Hmmm, that's the standard configuration for a wheel mouse. Try running xev to check if X is interpreting the buttons correctly, pressing both buttons should, of course, generate two separate events. If the're OK, the problem must be in your quake config. If not, then hmmm, I don't know wtf is going on.
