GolfProRM Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Okay... since the Palm install didn't go so well, I'm going to try one more... Couldn't find any useful info on the web about this, so thought I'd see if anyone's messed with it...I've got a Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical that has two regular buttons, a wheel, and a thumb button.I'd like to have the thumb button become useful in some way, but I'd really like it to serve as a back button (like it can in Windows)... Anyone know how to do this?? P.S. Bruno... GO TO BED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hi Ryan,Have some info for you: First you need to set up your mouse in XFree86 , in this section:Identifier "Mouse1"Driver "mouse"Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"Option "Buttons" "7"Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"Then you need to do: < xmodmap -e "pointer 1236745" >Make a script in .kde/Autostart :#!/bin/shxmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"Once your wheel works you can test to see if the extra buttons with < xev > (place mouse in the square and click the buttons and see what happens).Then you need to install imwheel (1.0.0pre1) and make a file .imwheelrc in your /home with the lines:".*"None, Up, Alt_L|LeftNone, Down, Alt_L|RightNext start imwheel with < imwheel -k -b "67" > You can make script in /kde/Autostart for this:#!/bin/shimwheel -k -b "67"Have fun !!

GolfProRM Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 also... the only imwheel in my installer is 0.9.9-3... I'm guessing I need to find the newer version???Edit - Found the version you told me to on the web Installing it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 BRUNO... YOU ROCK!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!Didn't need xev to see that the back button worked in Firebird :)Everything is setup and runs at reboot too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
