Mouse script on KDE startup??
 

I have the logitech wireless mouse but the wheel doesn't work. After KDE starts up I open a Konsole and type

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

and it works fine. So I thought I would make something to do this automagicaly for me, so using vi i made a file called mouse.sh and put it in /home/bobby/.kde/Autostart the file looks like this:

#bin/bash
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
exit (0)

I cannot get this this to run when KDE starts up......what am I missing??

Hello,

well, did you set the executable bit on the file, e.g. with "chmod"?

Thats a big no sir... how do I do that?? the chmod -h didn't say much about an executible switch... i'll keep lookin'

other than that... do I have it in the correct folder and the script written correctly ?

thanks

'chmod a+x [file]' gives everybody execute permissions on a file. Or you can browse to the file in KDE and change the permissions. Don't think you need that 'exit'.
Also, look at 'man chmod'.

That was it.... once I hit it with the cdmod a+x and restarted kde it all worked perfectly.

Thanks for your help...

now if i could only get speech working in ut2004.......
