I did something similar recently, using xinput.
# get the list of your X input devices
xinput --list
# get info on whichever one is your pointing device, including button labels
xinput --list [id]
# get the available properties
xinput --list-props [id]
# set the property for the device, property and button
xinput set-prop [id] [prop] [button]
Thanks for the reply.
I tried those as root, but got an error:
# xinput --list
No protcol specified
Unable to connect to X server
So I tried again as a normal user and got results:
bash-4.3$ xinput --list

â â³ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer
(2)]
<--->
bash-4.3$ xinput --list 12

It looks like I'd want to do something with "Button Wheel Up" (142),
"Button Wheel Down" (143) but it's not clear what I should do. Any ideas?
