Even if it doesn't support 7 buttons, the fix should be straightforward, as the support built in the protocol AFAIR.

Re: Where to put xinitrc? (Re: [XFree86] Can't get a 7-button mouse setup correctly.)
Hi Alon, it depends on which scripts are executed on X startup and in which order on your system. I have it in /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup - I use SuSE Linux 8.2. You could put it also in /etc/X11/Xmodmap - here you would write only: pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 not full xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 Mind the spaces around equal sign. Another possibility is ~/.Xmodmap. Let me know what place works for you. Best regards, Jozef [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wednesday 26 November 2003 09:21, Alon Weinstein wrote: Hello all.

Hi Owen, On Tuesday 25 November 2003 21:59, OS wrote: Do you have any experience with the Logitech mice ? No, I don't. Should I be using a different protocol ? IMPS/2 and ExplorerPS/2 don't work at all. Try another protocol. Protocol has to be correct before anything else. I tried to use another protocol with M$ IntelliMouse. Movement, 3 buttons and wheel worked but not other buttons. I had to choose ExplorerPS/2 to make them working. What protocol to use for Logitech would be good question for developers, I guess. Is there anything I can do to see what is coming from the mouse given that xev shows absolutely nothing for buttons 4, 5, 6 7. I have experience that if you do not see mouse button presses in xev you can forget it will work. I don't know of any other tool that goes more to the hardware. I am coming to the conclusion that Logitech mice will never be fully supported by X This is question or remark for developers - I really don't know. :-( which is a shame as M$ mice are a lot more pricey Just my opinion: On the contrary of Microsoft software, the Microsoft HARDWARE is worth the money you spend for it.

Re: [XFree86] Can't get a 7-button mouse setup correctly.
Hi Owen, I use Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer successfully with X 4.3.0. The section in XF86Config is not enough to get it working. First problem is that wheel stops working as it's now remapped to buttons 6 and 7 and applications expect 4 and 5. To correct this you need to execute: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 - best as a part of a X startup script. Now wheel works fine but if you want to get use of other buttons you have to use imwheel. I include my imwheelrc that I use for KDE. Regards, Ing.

Re: [XFree86] Can't get a 7-button mouse setup correctly.
Hello, Thanks for that. Unfortunately this procedure doesn't seem to work for the Logitech MouseManPlusPS/2 protocols. Do you have any experience with the Logitech mice ? Should I be using a different protocol ? IMPS/2 and ExplorerPS/2 don't work at all. Is there anything I can do to see what is coming from the mouse given that xev shows absolutely nothing for buttons 4, 5, 6 7. These mice work fine under Windows so the PS/2 port is working correctly.
