hi everyone
i have Logitech® MX™700, and it seems that not all the buttons are functioning. i can not use the wheel either.
I tried to look for linux driver in the logitech site but they don't have it
How can resolve this ?
Thank You

Quick google search found this. http://docs.tenshu.net/Logitech-MX-Duo-mini-HOWTO/ . It shows the info needed in your xorg.conf file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks dude very very helpful
I follow the instruction and get the wheel to work but my thumb button do not properly
My forward doesn't do anything while backward acts like left click
when I follow the instruction to
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 in .Xmodmap and xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
it says
xmodmap: /root/.Xmodmap:1: bad number of buttons, must have 14 instead of 10
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.

so I add
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5 11 12 13 14 but the thumb button do not work like I want to

Thank You

I try imwheel but still no luck
this is my xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
# Identifier "Logitech MX700 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
option "Dev Name" "PS2++ Logitech MX Mouse"
option "CorePointer"
# option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Buttons" "7"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
#
Option "ZAxisMapping" "9 10"
Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "Resolution" "800"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
Thanks

How many buttons have you got? Left/right, wheel + two side buttons? If so, in xorg.conf put:

---------------------------------

Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

-----------------------------------
And in /etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap put:

pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5

At the moment you've got "buttons" "9" but with zaxismapping "9 10".

Don't use the "emulate3buttons" option in xorg.conf.

If you've got more buttons it might be more complicated.

I'm using logitech mx710.
My buttons are left , right , wheel , thumb 1, thumb2, up, down , and 1 other that works as alt + tab in windows

I try to use your config but my wheel turn to be forward and backward.

Why are you running X as root, that is a no-no.

You have the same mouse that I do, you have 11 buttons as detected by xorg 6.9. All you need to do is this:

.Xmodmap

Code:

pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11

mouse section of xorg.conf

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

You would have to set up imwheel to map the extra alt+tab button if you want, I personally don't use it.

Thanks dude, now it all works.
Which part of imwheelrc should I edit , if I want to make alt+tab button to open a konsole?
How do you get 11? left, right, 2 thumbs, 3 wheel, up, down, alt+tab, and 1 more?
How do you come up with pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11

I add
"^konqueror$"
None, Up, Control_L|Page_Up
None, Down, Control_L|Page_Down

but konqueror still doesn't recognize thumb button. Any idea?

Thank You

Since you are already using imwheel, check with xev to see which button is used for the menu button on the mouse. All you should need in imwheelrc for everything to work is this:

Code:

"(null)"
None, Button6, Alt_L|Left
None, Button7, Alt_L|Right

".*"
None, Button6, Alt_L|Left
None, Button7, Alt_L|Right

I believe that is correct, I haven't used imwheel in a while.

I am not sure why they are detected as 11 buttons, this was part of the change in 6.9
