I have IMWheel installed and setup, and below is the mouse setting for my xorg.conf file, however. Buttons 1-7 work just perfectly, however, 8 mimics the wheel-down, and 9 and 10 refuse to do anything, no matther what I do with imwheel or the utility that lets me remap the buttons
Oh, and I was wrong in an earlier post, it isn't the driver that they posted and I couldn't use, it was the protocol (ignore my terminology, and not the sample mouse-config part with "evdev" in it). current mouse section of xorg.conf ======================================== Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "10" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ======================================== ~/.imwheelrc ======================================== none, Thumb1, Alt_R|Left none, Thumb2, Alt_R|Right none, Left, Alt_R|Left none, Right, Alt_R|Right ======================================== ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc ======================================== exec startkde imwheel -k -b "6789" & ======================================== I've tried using every variant of xmodmap that I could to alter the mapping of 6-10, however, nothing gets buttons other than 6 and 7 to work properly, and one of the others (I suspect it's 8) to mimic a completely different button. Unfortunately, button 7 is the only button that I don't like usin gon this mouse (hard to twist my hand to press it). By "not work properly", I mean that in any mapping other than the default, (except reversing 6 and 7) with xmodmap, the buttons either do nothing (normally), or act in a manner not previously specifice (usually by mimicking a scroll up or down button). Mapping 9 and 10 into the place of 6 and 7 (i.e. ' xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 8 6 7" ' or ' xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 9 10 6 7 8" ') ensures that no buttons beyond 5 work. I strongly suspect that signals from buttons 8-10 aren't reaching the software that handles them properly. 8 is either being misread or sent wrong, 9 and 10 appear to simply be dropped.
