5 button mouse, imwheel
I have a five button, PS/2 mouse. That is 2 regular buttons, a wheel that
scrolls and can be pressed, and two buttons on the side. I wanted to use this mouse in Linux. So I came here and searched for '5 button mouse' and I got several threads, and was directed to change my XF86Config files, put this ' xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" ' thing in my .bashrc and I would be done. Then I was pointed to something called Imwheel. The configuration was a nightmare, and I almost got what I wanted. As much as a I can tell, imwheel maps only the wheel buttons, not any side buttons. Please tell me what i did wrong. a relevant piece of etc/X11/XF86Config: ---------------------------------------------Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"EndSection Section "InputDevice" # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time. Identifier "DevInputMice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "Buttons" "7" EndSection --------------------------------------------- a revelant piece of my ~/.bashrc: --------------------------------------------- xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" --------------------------------------------- a revelant piece of my /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc: (my ~/.imwheelrc is identical) --------------------------------------------- ".*" , Up, Button4 , Down, Button5 , Right, Button3 , Left, Button1 , Thumb1, Button6 , Thumb2, Button7 "navigator:browser" None, Thumb1, Alt_R|Left --------------------------------------------- Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.:( |

search for 'mouse side buttons' and there will be a 73+ post thread that comes up. Has step by step on how to do it.
