HOWTO: setup all 12 buttons on your mx1000

[jrib]

Well it took a few weeks of scouring the internet for clues before I finally got my mx1000 to work just like I expected it to, but I finally did it. The howto is available on the wiki at the following url:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MX1000Mouse .

Let me know if it works for you. I welcome any and all questions and comments. Even if you don't like the way a particular sentence sounds, let me know :D

The howto is a product of several small changes I made over several weeks as I tried to get all 12 buttons to function correctly during my spare time so I may have forgotten to include a detail or two (I hope not). Sorry if I did, but I'm sure we can figure it out. Just post any problems you are having.

excelent, i never bothered to check out how to get them all to work, thansk for donig my legwork.

[jrib]

When run the following command in the terminal window

sudo apt-get install xvkbd xbindkeys xmacro

I get the following errors:
...


First, you may want to create a new sources.list. Some of the repositories that you are failing to connect to no longer exist iirc (for example mirrormax). Visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic and generate a new sources.list that contains the repositories you want (you will need universe enabled for the packages in this howto). Then run sudo apt-get update. Let me know if that solves your problems.

Great! Glad it worked for you.

Hey, I've got an MX1000 so I thought I'd try this, but where you have this line:

*H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 ts0


But I miss the 'event*' part. (the rest is there though)
there is no 'event' in my '/dev/input' either.
I tried it without this option, but that just killed my Xserver.

Any thoughts?

Does lsmod | grep evdev return anything? What version of ubuntu are you running?

[Heliode]

Does lsmod | grep evdev return anything? What version of ubuntu are you running?

No, it doesn't show anything... so I modprobed evdev, and now it shows 'event1'. (there is now also an 'event1' in /dev/...) But it still crashes the Xserver on restart, with the message that it couldn't open the device.
I made sure I got the 'Dev Phys' part right.

Any more ideas?
Tnx for your help so far btw.

My guess would be a syntax error. It happened to me a few times. Can you post your xorg.conf so we can make sure that isn't the problem?

[Heliode]

My guess would be a syntax error.

Indeed it was... although a very minor one... to get it to work I had to change this:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1 "

to this:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"

(notice the space)

In case anyone else has the same problem: add 'evdev' to '/etc/modules' to have the evdev module load on startup, and be careful with your syntax!

Thanks for your help and very quick replies!


Edit:

Some more things I've noticed after fully completing the howto:
The side-scroll buttons do the same thing as the page-forward/backward ones, (i.e. don't side scroll) and the 'middle mouse button' function is gone... I use this function quite a lot to open new tabs in firefox and to paste things I have selected, so it would be great if that could be made to work.

Great job on the other stuff though.

Are the cruise control buttons allowing you to scroll down to a page by holding it down?

The missing middle button is very strange. Open a terminal. Do "killall xbindkeys" and run "xev". Put your mouse over the box and click each of your buttons to see what button they are generating. What button number does it generate for the middle button? and the side scrolls?

Cruise control works very well.

However, middle mouse button generates no event in xev. All the other buttons do:

4, 5, 6 & 7 for the scroll wheel, 1 and 3 for left- and right-click, 11 and 12 for cruise control, 8 & 9 for forward and backward, and 10 for the small button between those two.

So I seem to be missing button 2..

Ah! The first thing I forgot, thanks.

You'll need to set mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action to 0, after entering about:config in the address bar of firefox. That should get sidescroll to work. I'll update the wiki. Thanks :D

Not too sure about the middle mouse button, restart X just to see what happens.

[edit] Meant "0", not "TRUE".

All my buttons are recognized by replacing

with

[jrib]

I am having trouble restarting X after editing xorg.conf. Here is my xorg.conf file. I get the error:


Reread the part explaing the "Device" line again. It seems you may not have completed that step correctly. It should involve event[NUMBER] in it, you'll see in the wiki:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"


[edit] after seeing the output of "cat /proc/bus/input/devices", I can tell you it should be exactly like the example above since your Handlers says "event1"

[jrib]

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"

Do the mouse buttons work correctly after that? Or do you need to also have a .Xmodmap file? I was originally using that setup with a .Xmodmap, but this setup (with z-axis 4 5 7 6) seems to work without requiring a .Xmodmap file.

[sniper85]

I tried it with /dev/input/event1 and got the same result

Doh! Thanks, Jason. All buttons work with z-axis 4 5 7 6 when I disabled Xmodmap.

Get rid of the CorePointer line, you shouldn't need it unless you use multiple mice. Let me know if it stops throwing errors.

[edit]Are you using both a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse?

[sniper85]

I tried to remove that line and got the same result. And yes i am using a logitech wireless mouse and keyboard

Jason,

How would you bind the middle thumb button (button 10) to close the current application?

TIA

[jrib]

okay, I think that we're going to have to look into this line: "H: Handlers=kbd mouse0 event1 ts0"

I googled for "Handlers=kdb mouse" and didn't get any hits (got 1 but it was strange code). I don't understand too much about what these things actually mean. I'll try to google and understand more about what exactly it means. In the meantime, let me know if you figure anything out yourself. Thanks and sorry it didn't work out right away.

This works with mixed results (closes tabs in Konqueror and Firefox completely) in ~/.xbindkeysrc:

Jason, thanks for this howto. Disabling xmodmap has enabled me to use the thumb buttons in CoD under Wine.

Jason, thanks for this howto. Disabling xmodmap has enabled me to use the thumb buttons in CoD under Wine.

Interesting, I was trying to figure out what xsendevent text would allow you to do F4 so that you could have it send ALT+F4 but I couldn't figure it out. You could always change the shortcut key in "keyboard shortcuts" to something like ALT+w (I don't know if that's used for something else) and then make xbindkeys send that. Current;y, I have my button sending "Delete" so that I can delete text quickly with the mouse.


If anyone knows more about these xsendevents text commands, please share. I've been searching google but most of my hits are actually mouse related and I don't find a good reference!

[berserker]

Thanks! That did the trick. I can now close the current app by pressing the middle thumb button. Here's what it looks like in ~/.xbindkeysrc:

"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[w]""

I did this, but the horizontal wheel also goes up and down... what do I have to change?

In a terminal: killall xbindkeys
See if the sidescroll works correctly now. If it does, post the contents of ~/.xbindkeysrc

If it's still doing both side scroll and vertical scroll:
In a terminal: xev
Put your mouse over the box and see what button numbers it is producing when you hold down the side scroll. Let me know what it says.

hope this doesn't sound too much like a newb question....i've only been using ubuntu for about 10 hours in total...

anyways.

I'm looking to do the same thing, i've followed the guide on wiki and I have all 12 buttons mapped, (edited xorg.conf made Xmodmap file) scroll wheel works, forward button works, scroll buttons works yadda yadda, everything as standard is working fine.

what i've done differently to wiki (doubt it makes too much difference) is left the mouse in the PS/2 port as I use it in windows (I'm quite an avid gamer) and I get issues if the mouse runs through the USB port, I like said though I can see this making any difference.

I've made the file ~/.xbindkeysrc heres a copy of it

###########################
# xbindkeys configuration #

"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\CW""

#
# End of xbindkeys configuration


and as you can hopefully see I've assigned the close program button to one of the side keys, the "back" button, i've also added xbindkeys to the startup session and tried running it through console and I've also restarted quite a few times. I haven't tried mapping the keyboard function alt+f4 to anything yet, I just want to get this version of it working first and see what its like.

however it doesn't work....

am I being a newb and missing something???

I'm trying to setup linux because next year I hope to start my phd and there is a very good chance my computer in the lab will be running a form of linux, I'm just trying to get used to it before I start.

any help would be greatly appreicated.

[berserker]

Try this:

"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -text "\CW""
b:9

Notice "-xsendevent" is missing.

[poley]

thanks for the response, tried the above, doesn't seem to want to work either, the button still works as a "back" button....

not sure if this will help but this is what is going on in event tester when I click...(with the new code)

ButtonRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x133, subw 0x2c00002, time 139608, (29,39), root:(34,85),
state 0x0, button 6, same_screen YES

LeaveNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x133, subw 0x0, time 139608, (29,39), root:(34,85),
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
focus YES, state 0

and with the old code (still works as a "back" button).

ButtonRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x133, subw 0x2e00002, time 392347, (35,32), root:(40,78),

no idea why it has it down as button 6...

if you want/need to see any other copies of things to make sure I've done stuff correct let me know...

Perhaps:

nope that doesn't work either, although it no longer works as a "back" button....

[jrib]

try:

See if you can highlight text with your mouse and then delete it using your side button. At least this way we can see if it is actually sending some command.

[poley]

thanks for that idea, turns out the button was mapped to 8 not 9....interesting...took a bit of trail and error before I found out what it was but at least with the delete function I could see it working, nice idea.

here's the final code

"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:9
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\CW""
b:8
"echo ButtonPress 4 ButtonRelease 4 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:11
"echo ButtonPress 5 ButtonRelease 5 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:12

only thing now is that I get a beep when I close a program, how'd I get rid of that?



something else too, the forward "cruise" button closes programs too....interesting....any ideas? (might be the source of the beep too, two buttons working at once...

thinking about it (and I really need to go to bed [5.45am]) would the Xmodmap file have any lingering effect, i used the following mapping 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5 given from another website (seems to be the problem with linux, one person does it one way another does it different), this is the best yet, actually got it working :)

I've removed the file from Home but other than that I wouldn't know how to "disable" it otherwise

Yeah, maybe I should add something to the wiki stating that you should not have a .xmodmap enabled. That would explain why your buttons were showing different numbers. Restarting X after removing the .Xmodmap file should do it. You may have to mess with xbindkeys again though since the button numbers will change :)

When I read about evdev, the authors all recommended usb. That's why I put it in the wiki. Let me know if it works out for you with the PS/2. If it's still giving you trouble after getting rid of the .Xmodmap, try the usb port.

Haven't had a chance to look to be honest, busy with finals atm. I'll be done in 3 days and then I'll do some more googling on the matter.

Try backing up your xorg.conf and playing with the settings. The fact that I found no hits on google for that line I mentioned before makes me suspect something is wrong and it should be changed. See if you can find some tutorials on setting up the keyboard and mouse combo and see what the xorg.conf looks like in the tutorials. That's what I would think of doing anyway if I were in your shoes. Good luck. I'll post back here with anything I might find in a few days.

OK so far nearly everything fine, scrolling horizontal and vertical no problem.

But I'am used to have the buttons next to wheel scroll a little bit faster than the wheel. Like one click scrolling 4 or 5 lines. Do you know what I have to change to get this results by clicking?

And then I have a problem with the side buttons sometimes one click triggers nearly 100x the event I assigned to that key so that I am at the beginning or end of my history or my Amarok runs trough many files.

I have assigned Alt_L+n to the middle thumb button to switch to the next track.


"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]n""
b:10


Although the pointer of the mouse jumps to the top left point of the active window and then back to the point where i clicked.

The same things is to be noticed when I press the keys directly on the keyboard for a longer time is there a possibility to say xvkbd how often the key should be pressed?

Do you have the same problem? Or did I miss something?

I think you can set mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines to false and mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines to 4 or 5.

As far as the jumping pointer effect, I haven't experienced this. But you may want to try adding the '-no-jump-pointer' switch to the command. The man page is on: http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/ .

I'm not sure why it would perform the event multiple times. Try using the '-no-repeat' switch as well (see the link above). If that doesn't work: Maybe the syntax for the letter 'n' is incorrect? Just guessing. You can try using left+up as a new shortcut and see if the behavior persists (since we know for sure that the syntax for the direction keys is correct). If it works properly with the new shortcut then try to see if you can figure out how to properly set the shortcut to use the letter 'n'. And if it persists even with using alt+up, I don't know.

[edit] I also just noticed that your command is missing the 'xsendevent' switch. See the example from the wiki:


"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""

Is your mouse connected to a usb port?

[geearf]

no ps/2.

[jrib]

no ps/2.

See if connecting it to a usb port will resolve the problem.

[geearf]

Hello,

in hoary it used to work in ps2, I don't see why it should not in Breezy, plus I'd like to use USB the least possible :)

I'll investigate this later maybe :)

[jrib]

I only suggest it because evvery guide I have read insists that the only way to get all of the buttons to function properly is to use a usb port. One more question though: is smart scroll enabled? When you hold down the scroll down button does it generate a 11 (maybe 12 can't remember) and then repeat 4's (maybe 5's) using xev?

[geearf]

Hello,

I've seen the same for the ps2 but as I have got it once, I guess I can still got it :)

About xev, I get first button 10 and then button 5 for the down scroll, 11 and 4 for up scroll

[Freddy]

Hi all. Think it was a glorius guide, but what to do in a KDE setup. I came as far as created a .xbindkeysrc, but what to do with it. I tried to find the ~/.autostart, that should be within my home directory but sorry to say I didn't find one hmm.

Is there any way to make konqueror use all of this afterwards?

Thanks for any answers. /// Freddan

Edit: I started xbindkeys manually and it seems that some buttons works with Konqueror (back n' fourth, but not tilt), needs some help to automate this to.

I tried to find the ~/.autostart, that should be within my home directory but sorry to say I didn't find one hmm.

Make sure the mouse generates button 6 and button 7 for side scroll using the 'xev' command in a terminal. I loaded up konqueror (on gnome) and they are working for me. I don't use konqueror so it seems to be working without any modification. If you can't figure it out, a temporary way around it may be to use xbindkeys to map those keys to whatever keyboard key makes konqueror side scroll (probably left and right arrow keys like in firefox).

Thanks I'll try that. Do you even know how to activate xbindkeys when booting KDE, I symliked the xbindkeys created in the homedirectory to ~/.kde/autostart but that didn't go as well as I hoped, I still needed to activate it manually.

I don't, you might want to try to post in the specific kubuntu section about starting up the program. Feel free to update the wiki with your kde experience notes if you solve this :)

[Myrkul23]

I've followed all the directions and everything went smoothly, but for some reason the cruise control will not work in firefox. From xev I know that the button numbers are 11 and 12, in case this helps solve the problem.

[jrib]

I've followed all the directions and everything went smoothly, but for some reason the cruise control will not work in firefox. From xev I know that the button numbers are 11 and 12, in case this helps solve the problem.

in xev, when you hold down the cruise control buttons, do the 4 and 5 button events repeat (after the initial 11 or 12)?

[Myrkul23]

It doesn't repeat. Also, when I initially press down on the down cruise control, it comes up as button 5. When I release, it comes up as button 12. For the up cruise control, the numbers are 4 and 11.

[jrib]

Okay that means smart scroll has been disabled on your mouse. There is a program that will let you enable it but it is not in the repositories. How comfortable are you with compiling?

[Myrkul23]

I used to be a slack user, so since I had to compile EVERYTHING in slack, it shouldn't be too bad :)

[jrib]

ah okay, go ahead and compile this http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/coding_lmctl.html, the link is hidden in the last paragraph right before the manual page.

I don't know if you are familiar with checkinstall. Basically instead of the usual ./configure, make, sudo make install routine, you do ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall. But checkinstall will create a deb for you and keep track of what gets installed so you can easily remove it using a package manager. You'll need to 'sudo apt-get install checkinstall' first so that you can use it.

using lmctl...

jasonr@luso:~$ sudo lmctl -s #lists usb devices
002.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device
001.002: 046d:c50e Receiver for MX1000 Laser (C-BN34) Caps: CSR SMS
001.001: 0000:0000 Not a Logitech device

#you want to find the 001 in ``001.002...'' above
#once you know that, just do:
jasonr@luso:~$ sudo lmctl -b 001 --sms
001.002: 046d:c50e Receiver for MX1000 Laser (C-BN34) Caps: CSR SMS
SmartScroll enabled

Then try xev again and see if it is repeating the 4's and 5's with the smart scroll buttons.

[Myrkul23]

I installed the program, but when I scan for devices it only sees an unrecognized Logitech device. If I try to apply any options, it says it is unsupported.

[jrib]

you've got it hooked up to a usb port? is this one of those keyboard mouse combos?

I think you can also enable this using the windows drivers if you dual boot (although i don't know where that setting would be located).

[edit]also, i used lmctl-0.3.1

[Myrkul23]

I have the receiver hooked up to a USB port, but that program doesn't recognize it for some reason. Do you have any ideas or know of other programs? Now that I've read up on this program, it seems like another problem is the face I need it to read at 800 cpi rather than 400. Any ideas? Thanks again for all your help.

[jrib]

From what I have read, the mx1000, unlike previous logitech mice, keeps its resolution at the max so you won't/shouldn't need to change it with any software.

As for other programs that will allow you to do this, I only know of the windows software that came with the mouse. A quick google search gave me some hits on a linux patch (which I didn't really understand) and some kde support: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-12/0929.html http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/677

Try hitting the reset buttons on your mouse and receiver (just a shot in the dark). If all else fails, maybe you can email logitech and ask them if there is a way to do it without software. Maybe a certain key combination?

run xev in a terminal and click in the box that shows up. You'll see a bunch of info. The easiest place to find it is in the paragraph that begins with ``ButtonRelease event''. The second to last thing in that paragraph should be ``button x'' where x is a number. Try to keep your mouse still since moving it will also generate output.

[edit] If you see stuff like KeymapNotify event it means xbindkeys caught it. So you may want to kill xbindkeys beforehand

[FlakJacket]

Thank you I restarted X and it is back to normal. How do you use the kill command? Xev doesn't show a click for the side button does that mean i have too few buttons listed in my .conf? i'll try and add the two dpi buttons to the number maybe.

i don't know what clipper is but I'll assume it's the kde clipboard. If you are using firefox, for linux the default action is to do what you just described. You can change it by going to 'about:config' in your address bar and changing middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false

Hey, excess. I see it's you first post, so welcome to the forums. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.

Here's what I need you to do,

Applications Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
$ killall xbindkeys
$ xev
click the forward, back, left scroll, and right scroll and record what button number they produce. You'll have to look at the paragraphs that begin with ``ButtonRelease''. Try to keep the mouse still as this will make it easier to identify the correct section of the output.
please also post the relevant section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hello! I'm not 100% sure that this should work, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.

I'm running Dapper on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop, with the latest updates. I've just gotten a DiNovo media keyboard + mouse set, that uses an MX Laser mouse (I think it's a MX 1000 but it doesn't really say). It connects via bluetooth via a USB stick, so that may or may not be a problem. Everything works just fine apart from the buttons, as they all think they are one of the 3 first buttons...

Ok, so what do I need to do to get that up and running? I see that there is a package xserver-xorg-evdev in the repos, I suppose I should start with that?

Ok, got it to work. Commented out the protocol line, and changed the driver to "evdev". Installed xserver-xorg-evdev and restarted X - and it worked. So did the rest of the tips.

Thanks a lot for this help!

http://floam.sh.nu/?page=guides&section=mx1000 goes into how to do that. I considered including the procedure in the guide but since my event # seemed to remain the same, I thought it wouldn't be necessary. Maybe when I have some time, I'll try to find a way to include without complicating things anymore (or if anyone else has the time and verifies it works... :)).

[edit] that link actually uses evdev as a driver and seems to have simpler instructions, so maybe once dapper arrives setting up the mouse will be a little simpler

The info in that link worked perfectly, real easy to setup and works perfectly! There's a bug (unrelated to this, really) where the evdev driver makes gnome-settings-daemon crash though, so it may not be for everyone until that gets fixed. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/27143

Hi,

i have trouble, getting my MX1000 to work as i want.

Vertical-Scrolling does not work at all an the output of
sudo logitech_applet -s 800 is
001/003 046D/C50E M-RAG97 MX1000 Laser Mouse
Channel 1 Battery: 7 Single channel No 800cpi support No Horiz Roller No Vert Roller 2 butt.

How can i enable 800cpi and cruise control?

Buttonmapping: (Button-xevNumber)
Left-1, Right-3, Middle-2, Scrollup-4, Scrolldown-5, ThumbForward-9, ThumbBackward-8, ThumbMiddle-10, WheelClickUpper-11, WheelClickLower-12

thx

[jrib]

How can i enable 800cpi and cruise control?

afaik the mx1000 uses the max resolution all the time and there is no need to use a program to increase it.

to enable cruise control I do this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=706981&highlight=lmctl#post706981

[hed]

All my buttons work fine now, but I've a problem.
If I disconnect my mouse from the USB port, and then I reconnect it, then my mouse don't works 'till I restart de X server. I don't need to restart the computer, only the X server.
¿Any ideas?

[rantak]

Just upgraded to Dapper, my mx1000 was working perfectly in Breezy.

I had multiple problems with the how-to, first the evdev protocol problem, then the
bug in gnome-control-center that has been mentioned in this thread. Now the mouse is working basically ok, xev recognizes all the buttons but my sidescroll still doesn't work in firefox. I changed the options in about:config.

Also somebody said that to increase the speed of cruise control you should change the variables at about:config again, but that didn't change the speed for me at all. Anyone tried this with success?

Third problem is that I'd want to use the b10 button to change between windows (i.e.
alt+tab) I haven't succeeded in that. The gnome keyboard shortcuts doesn't recognize the keys I have set in .xbindkeysrc. This also worked in Breezy if i remember correctly.

[phux]

Well, i tried lmctl but it does not change my state.

Horizontal scrolling is still impossible.
If i try to, both buttons work as Left_Mouse-Button.
I tried all buttons, and none works as horizontal scrolling.

No strangely it doesnt.
It just changes the forward/backward function to work with the Y-axis of the wheel instead of the thumbbuttons.

Well, I got excited when I saw this thread..... then I ran into a problem. When I typed cat proc/bus/input/devices, the list showed up, but for some reason, my keyboard (Logitech G15) is showing up three times. I can only see PC speakers and the three instances of the keyboard and nothing for the mouse, since it scrolled off screen. Is there someway for me to go into this file to edit it, just so that I can see what is listed for my mouse? I sure would appreciate some help...

Hey.

I've now got my mouse working perfectly in firefox. In windows, I had the middle side button (button 10) bound to F5, in order to refresh the page. So far, I haven't worked out how to do this; could anyone help?

I can't seem to get this to work properly on mine. I'm using Dapper drake, and so far everything seems to run properly, but my buttons are different or something.

My xconfig looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"
EndSection

I'm not getting any X crashes (which is an improvement) but I also can't seem to use the thumb buttons at all.

If I run xev it lists my button 8 as button 49, and buttons 9 and 10 don't show up at all. It also lists button 11 and 12 as 4 and 5, without xbindkeys running. Well actually it lists the down button as button 5 upon press, and button 33 upon release.

I have no idea what's going on. ](*,)


Oh, but scrolling side to side does work.

[PowerLlama]

Anyone at all?

*edit after reading another thread, it's an XGL error. Nevermind.

[tkite]

Well it took a few weeks of scouring the internet for clues before I finally got my mx1000 to work just like I expected it to, but I finally did it. The howto is available on the wiki at the following url:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MX1000Mouse .

Let me know if it works for you. I welcome any and all questions and comments. Even if you don't like the way a particular sentence sounds, let me know :D

The howto is a product of several small changes I made over several weeks as I tried to get all 12 buttons to function correctly during my spare time so I may have forgotten to include a detail or two (I hope not). Sorry if I did, but I'm sure we can figure it out. Just post any problems you are having.
I have the MX3100 keyboard/mouse combo connected via a PS/2 KVM with a Windows XP machine as well. Everything works on mouse and keyboard on the XP machine, so I know the KVM and the PS/2 don't interfere with anything. I followed your instructions, which got the back/forward thumb buttons working in addition to the already working left click, right click, middle click, and scroll up/down. Unfortunately cruise control, horizontal scrolling, and the middle thumb button don't do anything. In xev they don't even register as events, only the buttons that work do. Here's the relevent section of my xorg.config:
----
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse"
Option "Dev Phys" "isa0060/serio1/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" #works also with /dev/input/mice
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection
----
Additionally, my .xbindkeysrc is:
----
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
b:8
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:9
"echo ButtonPress 4 ButtonRelease 4 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:11
"echo ButtonPress 5 ButtonRelease 5 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:12
----
I've looked and looked for how to fix this. I had SuSE 10 on this machine before I switched to Ubuntu and didn't have any luck beyond what I have now then either. Any ideas besides spamming Logitech until they release official Linux drivers?

[PowerLlama]

Alright, I have a new question.

I'm back on Breezy, and I got most of this stuff working. The only thing that seems to be weird are my buttons 11 and 12 (the cruise control ones), and middle click.

I can't use my middle click to close tabs in firefox, instead whenever I press it, it loads up whatever I just copied, like if I copied a URL and middle-click, it will load up the URL.

Also, in xev, before xbindkeys, xev saw my cruise control buttons as 4 and 5 whenever they were held down, but 11 and 12 on release.

Now what I want to do is set my button 12 to middle click (because I hate middle-clicking with the 1000, and I need the function), but I can't do that. It just won't work. It just keeps scrolling instead of middle-clicking.

My xbindkeysrc looks like this:

"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
b:8
"/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:9
"echo ButtonPress 4 ButtonRelease 4 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:11
"echo ButtonPress 2 ButtonRelease 2 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:12

Any help?

[jrib]

For your firefox problem, enter 'about:config' in the address bar and change middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

As for changing the auto-scroll down button to middle click, you will probably want to disable cruise control. Otherwise, when you middle click, your pages are going to scroll. mx1000 seems to send a button press 11 then repeat button 4 (mouse scroll) then a button release 11 when you let go. I only know how to disable cruise control with lmctl (a program that you will have to compile yourself). Instructions are somewhere in this thread if you search the thread for lmctl, you should find it. If not, just let me know and I'll give you the instructions again. If you aren't comfortable compiling, feel free to ask for advice, it's an easy compile. A problem with disabling cruise control is that your horizontal scroll, won't automatically repeat, it will just scroll once (like tapping the left and right arrow keys).

[rantak]

I reported some problems few weeks ago with the guide & dapper flight 4.

I installed a clean flight 6 kubuntu yesterday, followed the guide when installing the mx1000 and everything is now working correctly. I guess the problems earlier where caused by me dist-upgrading from breezy.

[morwyn]

Following your instructions I was able to get my mouse up and running. Thank You. However, I do like to configure my mouse keys for different funtions. Can I edit xbindkeys to get it to work, and if so, what do i put? I did figured out how to put delete as button 10 and enter as button 7. But I would like to put button 6 as backspace, button 11 as copy, and button 12 as paste. I'm not sure how to do these three. I'd appreciate your input.

xev recognizes all buttons:
1 - left click
2 - middle click
3 - right click
4 - scroll up
5 - scoll down
6 - scroll left (works as back in Firefox)
7 - scroll right (works as forward in Firefox)
8, 9 - as "Back" and "Forward" buttons on mouse, which I want to map as doubleclick and middleclick.

Now, if I call these commands from command line, they work (middle-click and double-click). However, they do not work when xbindkeys call them. Here's an example output of xbindkeys -v -n:

Looks like no errors, but it just doesn't work - I don't get the effect of either middle-click or doule-click in Firefox or in terminal.

yes, I have already tried that, effect is also the same, Anyway, command _is_ being executed, as seen from xbindkeys output. But it just doesn't work.

does it matter that you are using :0 instead of :0.0? Also, does it work if you echo and pipe to it? do other commands work (like delete maybe)?

[acidphex]

My mx1000 is detected as ImPS/2, how would I go about configuring that?

[Pugaciov]

Hi all
I followed the wiki for the MX1000, now back and forward buttons work in Firefox, but everything else does not. Left and right scroll work as zoom in and out when viewing an image, and the wheel-middle button seem to open the last link copied in the clipboard.

[Pugaciov]

For your firefox problem, enter 'about:config' in the address bar and change middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

As for changing the auto-scroll down button to middle click, you will probably want to disable cruise control. Otherwise, when you middle click, your pages are going to scroll. mx1000 seems to send a button press 11 then repeat button 4 (mouse scroll) then a button release 11 when you let go.

A problem with disabling cruise control is that your horizontal scroll, won't automatically repeat, it will just scroll once (like tapping the left and right arrow keys).

Ok this post was helpful for what concerning the middle click loading URLs, but I didn't understand very well...cruise control doesn't work at all here, if I press the cruise control down button, it's like scrolling the wheel...is it normal and I have to configure lmctl as you said or not?

Thanks.

edit: ok, I'm still searching and reading the thread; using "general.autoScroll" to "true" makes the fast scroll appear after middle click. Now I think the last thing missing is the horizontal scroll.

I got the exact problem as sniper85, I also have the mx3100 (wireless keyboard +mx1000) i think that's the problem. Anyhelp in getting this to work will be greatly appreciated :)

Hello,

just to tell you that everything is fine now under dapper, but don't ask me why.
Strange thing is that the 2 buttons on the side are still not that well seen by xev but as they seem to do just fine I don't really care.
Now I just have to get used to it again :)

[jrib]

I've updated the wiki with instructions that work for me on dapper. Let me know if they work ok for you

[jrib]

Excellent, all working, but did anyone ever manage to get the cruise/scroll thing to speed up?

Yeah, I wish I could find a way to do that as well

[tempo500]

worked!!! thanx... maybee you should rename the title of the wiki... was not shure if i should try it with my logitech click plus mouse.:rolleyes: phil

[bekok]

I have a Mx 700, but does this guido also work for that one? Caus i'd like to active my back/forward buttons :)

[jrib]

Great to hear. The procedure should be very similar for other mice. The only thing that could be unique is the line that maps buttons 6 and 7 correctly. Without that line the Horizontal Scroll is backwards. I'll see if I can write something more general and then people may be able to post the individual quirks for each mouse if there are any. Thanks for the idea. Did you have to make any modifications?

I have a Mx 700, but does this guido also work for that one? Caus i'd like to active my back/forward buttons :)

Here are the basic steps you should follow, if this doesn't work it's as simple as restoring your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf. You might want to look through the mx1000 tutorial too to see the basic steps:

1. First we need to get the "Name" for your mouse:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Mine shows up as:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50e Version=2500
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2 ts0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143


Mine was "Logitech USB Receiver" as you can see.

2. Now modify your Xorg.conf (make a backup first), remove the "Configured Mouse" section (see the wiki) and replace it with:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
EndSection


You should replace "Logitech USB Reciever" with whatever you got. Notice I left out the HWHEEL line since we aren't sure you need it.

3. Read the wiki part about setting the CorePointer in the ServerLayout section
4. Ok now restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace
5. See what works on your mouse and what doesn't
6. Run xev in a terminal and press the buttons that are giving you trouble.
-If something is switched you can either use a line similar to HWHEEL I used (see man evdev or ask here) or you can use xmodmap
-if something isn't happening, like back and forward don't work but they generate buttons 8 and 9 for example, than you can use an xbindkeys like I did.


If we have good results with this I'll definitely clean this up and put something on the wiki so everyone can post up their xorg.conf section and xbindkerys/xmodmaps for their mouse on the wiki. Wouldn't be hard to write a nice little script either...

[geearf]

Hello,

thanks for the tip about the "name", I was having problems with the device changing, and the udev rules working for me but not for xorg ... now it works flawlessly (or it seems) thanks.

[jrib]

Hello,

thanks for the tip about the "name", I was having problems with the device changing, and the udev rules working for me but not for xorg ... now it works flawlessly (or it seems) thanks.

Yeah, man evdev is what clued me in on that. It seems to happen with the adoption of udev that the event#'s don't stay constant after reboots and such. I was writing udev rules that matched the Name to give the mouse a consistent event# but I realized that that was the same as just having X match the name directly.

The only problem I see with it is if someone has a Logitech mouse and keyboard that give the same Name. Not really sure how X will handle that scenario...

[geearf]

I guess yes, with a pack it might failed, but I don't have one of those, so I'm ok :)

[geearf]

by the way, I'm still using it on an ps/2 input, not USB.

Also do you think it would be possible to get a higher speed for b10 and b11? cause it's still quite slow ...

Thanks

[Giga]

Jason, do you know if Logitech keyboard dinovo Laser (bluetooth 2.0)
works as well as MX1000 in Linux?

Thanks

[Hypoxiacion]

I've got my buttons setup, now could someone please tell how to bind one of my side buttons to a keyboard key for example: Insert, Delete etc.

Thanks in advance!

[geearf]

@Hypoxiacion : look at the xbindkeys thing at the end of the wiki, that should do it.

Interesting, I might try freeing up a usb port over here too. Though the action for my forward and back seem to happen as soon as I press the buttons, I'll let you know if I get the same delay as you on PS/2 or if it's something else. You could try using something other than xbindkeys, I think imwheel will let you bind actions too.

No sorry, I don't know about the keyboards

Yeah I saw that part, just unsure where I'd need to inseRt the information.

I want to bind the top side button to the delete key and the button above the scrollwheel to the insert key.

I need those keys mostly for gaming, I.E bind delete key to side button = weapon reload..

Just like setpoint does in windows.

I have "delete" bound to the middle side button. You can figure out the numbers, by running 'xev'.

You may have a problem using the button above the scroll for "insert" since after that button is pressed, the mouse starts sending 4's over and over, so it will be like you are scrolling up. You could disable cruise control but then the side scroll becomes pretty much useless imo. If you want to disable it anyway, just google for 'lmctl' and search for 'lmctl' in this forum thread, there are pretty decent use instructions somewhere. If you have any problems with it, don't hesitate to post

it's not that there is a delay, it's just that button 10 and 11 don't scroll the page as quickly as they would under Windows. So it's way faster to just drag the little thing and scroll it down the good old way.

PS/2 works great though ;)

oh, yes I know what you are referring to now. I agree with you too and wish I could control its speed.

The one thought I have had is to turn off smart scroll and just have something catch the button press event, and start sending out scroll signals itself until the button is released.

[geearf]

Maybe that would work, the problem is that once we press the buttons they 'transform' themselves into the wheel ones ... hmm I'm trying something, let's see how it works.

[jrib]

After I disable smart scroll using the lmctl program it only generates an 11 press and an 11 release, and the same for 12,13,14. The mouse doens't send in the real events anymore in between the press and release. But let me know if you have any progress with your idea

[geearf]

nothing on my side, except that there seems that the xbindkey file is not really needed anymore except for the back and forth thing for firefox.

lmctl, so it's a no-go for me if I want to still use a ps/2 port like I'm doing, but I'm still interested because my laptop has no ps/2 port, only usb ...

[jrib]

The other entries in the xbindkeys are so that text doesn't get highlighted when you use the smart scroll, it's a bit of a hack

[geearf]

I never use that, I don't like it.

just wanna say thanks for the guide
one thing though,
im having probs getting the back/forward buttons working
i followed the instructions for dapper on the wiki and the mouse works, but the back/forward does what it did with the old drivers

is there something im missing?

thanks

[jrib]

saax, this seems to have some info for you: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=163859 but I don't use kde so I can't tell you myself how to add porgrams to startup.


stonefeet, do you have just an mx1000 or did you purchase some kind of combo? I ask because as you can see, your mouse does not use the "Logitech USB Receiver" name.

xbindkeys should be taking care of the back and forward. Kill xbindkeys and start xev in a terminal. What button numbers are the back and forward buttons generating?

yea i've got the desktop package
bluetooth only, getting this mouse to work is the only thing that's stopping me from canning windows altogether

[stonefeet]

after a fresh install

i'm going to give this another shot when i get home, from the wiki

btw
the keyboard works 100% straight out of the box, volume controls and zoom and such

[stonefeet]

maybe i'm just talking to myself here but i figured out after a fresh install that my keyboard is connected to the BT mini-receiver and the mouse for some reason connects to my other bluetooth adapter

that one, so i was able to mess around with the xorg.conf and get it so that x would come back up but none of the extra buttons would work

xev returned nothing when the buttons were pressed

[stonefeet]

that was the solution

removed the kensington bluetooth adapter and rebooted with just the logitech one and it worked 100% with the default xorg.conf

thanks for steering me in the right direction

See if you can figure out how to write a udev rule to give the mouse a consistent event#. Maybe this can help http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html . I haven't had a chance to do this myself, but I'd be glad to hear how it goes.

I used to use this as /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../name}=="Logitech USB Receiver", NAME="input/event9"

But as you can see that is only matching the name, which is meaningles.

If you can get that to work, then just use the event# instead of the name in your xorg.conf

Hi,
Thx for the great tutorial, some parts seem to work for me, some don't ;): I did everything according to the text and it leaves me with the mouse wheel working vertically but not horizontally. Back and forward works in FF, cruise control doesn't... where could the problem be? I'm using dapper and if I can get my MX1000 to work fully that'd be another step towards scrapping XP totally :).

Any help would be very appreciated,

What you described happens to me if I disable smart scroll on the mouse. The only program in linux that I know of to control this, is lmctl. It isn't packaged, so you will have to compile it.

There are some basic instructions in some posts I made earlier in this thread, just search inside this thread for 'lmctl'.

If you need some help with compiling, just ask and we'll walk you through it.

[HBK]

Works like a charm, thank you very much :). Is there a way of setting the autocruise speed or is it fixed?

Thanks a lot again for the fast and friendly help :),

In windows, the logitech application allows one to change the scroll speed. However, I believe this does not actual change a setting on the mouse itself, it may just be the application doing all the work to make it scroll faster.

I agree with you that it would be nice to change the speed a bit. grearf also expressed interest in this as well. I don't know of a way to do this. Although it may be possible to write something similar to the logitech app...

[adam.tropics]

What version of evdev are you all using? I have an older version , as previously the newer packages were broken, but following recent updates the mouse has been freezing pretty randomly. Is there a current but working package in the repos now?

[geearf]

I'm using dapper's one and it's fine.

Thank you for the great tutorial. I do have one minor problem. Sorry if this came up. I can't get my thumb buttons to start when the system boots up. I have to do it manually through terminal. How go I get it to start automatically. And I tried adding the xbindkeys to Sessions.

So it seems that the problem is xbindkeys isn't getting started. Can you make sure that xbindkeys isn't getting run after login by running 'ps -ef | grep xbindkeys'?

Also, what version of Ubuntu are you using?

If you put 'gedit' in sessions -> startup, does it work?

What is in your ~/.config/autostart directory? (Paste the contents of xbindkeys.desktop if it is there)

[dahamsta]

Very useful HOWTO, thank you.

I have all the buttons set up, but i can't bind them in the games that I play. Does anyone know how to bind mouse buttons to keyboard buttons?:confused:

We are only identifying the device using it's "Name". If this is a problem for you because other devices also identify themselves this way, post at the forum link found at the bottom of this page.

So here I am.. I am on dapper drake and I have the logitech wireless keyboard/mouse(MX700) package. The receiver is connected through 1 usb on the computer and both works from it.

So... what can I do for this occasion?

[jrib]

I have all the buttons set up, but i can't bind them in the games that I play. Does anyone know how to bind mouse buttons to keyboard buttons?:confused:

You can use xbindkeys to do this. In a terminal, try 'xbindkeys -d'. That should give you a sample rc file you can use with a lot of examples. To have the command play a mouse button, you can use something similar to what we used to get the mx1000 scroll keys to work correctly. For example this makes button 14 on the mouse play button 7, but you can change "b:14" to a key on your keyboard instead if you wish.

"echo ButtonPress 7 ButtonRelease 7 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
b:14


Also, in detyabozhye's guide, HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894), he introduces a "click" program which seems to allow you to play a mouse button as well.

I'm trying to get this working on Edgy with a MX3100 mouse/keyboard combo, so far I've run into big problems.

WARNING DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE WIKI! This resulted in loss off keyboard and mouse functions as soon as X started. Meaning I had to get hold of a wired keyboard to fix the problem (ctrl+alt+F1 didn't work)

I've tried using every combination of the following lines in the xorg.conf but none would get the mouse working, when I use the "device" option I get the keyboard working again.

Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"

Any tips are welcome!

EDIT:

I wrote a udev rule
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/19-local.rules
And added the following line:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../device/bInterfaceNumber}=="01", NAME="input/mxmouse"

changed my xorg.conf to the following:
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mxmouse"
Option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"

And rebootet, now both my keyboard and mouse are working. But xev doesn't output anything on the wheel-sideways, and the thumb buttons are all whacky now !!

[mac57]

Hi, I have just loaded up Ubuntu 6.06, and followed the instructions at the start of this thread to get my MX1000 working fully. The instructions work great, but I wanted to make one change that I just can't figure out how to get working.

Right now, the two buttons along the side of the mouse that are used for Forward and Back work like this: the frontmost button does Forward and the backmost button does Back. This is sensible but for whatever reason, I have always done this the other way. How do I reverse these two, so that the frontmost button does Back and the backmost button does Forward?

I have tried changing the mapping in xorg.conf to no good end. I have tried messing with the settings in ~/.xbindkeysrc to no good end. There must be some magic combination I haven't tried yet. Can anyone help?

BTW, I am running Unbuntu 6.06, pretty much standard off the install disk (booted up the LiveCD, selected the install option and used it). All I have done to it since install is to use easyubuntu to load up the nvidia driver, codecs, and fonts. Thanks!

[kayrune]

If I understand correct...

in .xbindkeysrc change

"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
b:8
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:9


to

"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:8
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
b:9

Hi,

You can use xmodmap,
something like
pointer = 3 2 1

would make the first button act like button 3 and the third button act like button 1. But in your ~/.xmodmap you should have more numbers (12? iirc) and you would just switch whatever corresponds to middle (2) and your thumb button (I can't remember, but use xev to figure it out).

Instead of editing ~/.xmodmap and restarting X to test things you can just do:
[/code]xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"[/code]
in your terminal.

hmm I'm not sure why /proc/bus/input/devices wouldn't include your mouse. Can you try after using a vanilla xorg.conf (generate one with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg).

here is the result:)

don't just copy the code, read what I said too :) You have to modify it to the proper number of buttons and switch the right numbers

Also, were you able to restore the backup so you can get back to X?

yep just a simply case of using cp with the backup i made of xorg.conf and reloading x from the command line.

hope that helps you guys, to help me.

Plus, I have the .xbindscr-thing in my ~ so that the side-buttons work in mozilla etc.

The weird thing was that I'm sure that I tried that xorg-config earlier and wasn't able to startX. Maybe I'm too confused or something :???: Well the mouse works :D

Hi I tried this HOWTO and X didn't crash :-). To bad nothing worked though. I made all steps in the wiki but none of the x-tra buttons work at all in Kubuntu Edgy. Xbindkeys made my 2 side buttons work in both konqueror and firefox though.

These are the sectons I altered in xorg.conf

Hi, can you run 'xev' in a terminal and see if clicking on the window it creates, makes all the buttons show up? (killall xbindkeys beforehand might help)

Yeah, all of my buttons rendered some kind of action of "xev". Nothing still works though.

Another question to, how to make "xbindkeys" start with KDE, now I need to start up it every time I log in.

Thx for any help I can get. / Freddan

[jrib]

Yeah, all of my buttons rendered some kind of action of "xev". Nothing still works though.

If you hold down "scroll down" button, does it emit a button (maybe 12) and then start repeating another button many times (maybe 5; should be the same as when you scroll your wheel down).

If it doesn't, search this thread for instructions on compiling the program called "lmctl" and run lmctl -i.


Another question to, how to make "xbindkeys" start with KDE, now I need to start up it every time I log in.


I don't use kde, but it seems you have to place a symlink in ~/.kde/Autostart .

mkdir -p ~/.kde/Autostart; ln -s $(which xbindkeys) ~/.kde/Autostart


should do it

just to make things easier i am posting my edited xorg.conf file so any errors can be fixed. i had a spot of trouble last time i tried this (basically i lost the GUI, and had to command line it until somone came to my rescue)

i'm restarting X now. wish me luck!

[reticencias]

OK!!!!!!!!!!!! this worked LIKE A CHARM!!!! you are the man!!!! great "howto", easy to follow trough and working :)

the only button that doesn't work is that "menu" button (the one between the forward and backword buttons) but who needs it :) :) :)

oh, btw, I'm using the MX1000, of course :)

Glad it works for you. I haven't found a good use for that third side button but you can setup a bind for it with xbindkeys (it should be "b:10").

[Sonic Reducer]

ok, i've tried this twice and it hasn't worked either time. i'm using dapper 64-Bit.

heres the output, could someone show me what i'm doing wrong?

could someone edit the xorg.conf file for me? i keep making errors that let me experience what linux without a GUI is like

[lazyd2]

Excellent "How To"!

Thank you!

[gurgle]

I know I am going to sound incredibly lazy, but a GUI interface to modify the buttons would be awesome :)

[Daxie]

Thank you for the great HOWTO works like a charm!! ;)

Oh and i use that "menu" button to open new Tab windows in Firefox...

Excellent tutorial, I have managed to get everything working :)

I had an idea for the unused button, I would like to make it activate the rotate cube feature in beryl.

How would I go about doing this?

[weichafe]

HI.

I follow this tutorial in ubuntu 6.10 but, i can't configure the buttons. If I scrool down or scroll up with the wheel it moves the "horizontal" scrool, and If I move the wheel to left or right it moves the vertical scrool....

Any Idea?

did you check for an xmodmap? (usually it ends up in ~/.xmodmaprc). If you don't have one, then you could use xmodmap to fix your issue. Post here again if you aren't sure how xmodmap works.

There is no file for xmodmap... so with xmodmap I could fixit? how, can you guide me?:D

[jrib]

There is no file for xmodmap... so with xmodmap I could fixit? how, can you guide me?:D

Sure, first thing, kill xbindkeys killall xbindkeys . Then run xev and figure out the numbers for the buttons that are switched.

It's easiest to explain how xmodmap works with an example. Here is how i switch button 2 with button 12:

pointer = 1 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

I keep that in my ~/.xmodmaprc. But to test, you can send the expression straight into the xmodmap command like so:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20"

Does that make sense?

[edit] You could also play with the "7 6" part in your xorg.conf if you are curious...

[weichafe]

I try with xmodmap but it doesn't works...

Also I play with "7 6" in the xorg.con and the result was worse than before.

The problem is with the horizontal and vertical scroll that are changed. Vertical scroll move horizontal bar, and viceversa... Tonight i will try new configurations... i must to work now.

What are the numbers of the buttons that aren't working? And what configuration did you try?

Yesterday I followed this guide and was really happy to see that mouse worked like it should. This morning I booted my laptop without the mx1000 connected and X did not start. After 3 cycles it came with an blueish error screen that X server could not start. Only message i could find was on the terminal: hostname miguel@vaio-laptop: tty1

Does anybody have a clue what is happening right now? When i reconnect the mouse and reboot, X starts again.

X will fail to start if it can't get a pointer device.

We should be able to make it so that it falls back to your touchpad when it can't find the mouse. If your old xorg.conf worked in this way, then try posting the old one and the new one so we can compare it.

Okay here are mine xorg.conf files: (I've made txt files so that this topic stays readable)

[Migs]

Okay I've solved my problem, it had something to do with "AlwaysCore" and "CorePointer" in the serverlayout section.

Glad to hear you sorted it out Migs. If you have the time, it would be great if you could add what you did to the wiki :)

[bankie]

Thanks for the guide. With it I've managed to get the buttons on a MX400 mouse working (It's basically a wired MX1000 without the task-switcher button.

I just have one question. Is there any way to switch tabs in firefox by tilting the wheel?

[grantjohnston]

Alright, I'm about to ram my head through a wall. I had it working less than 20 minutes ago.. I go to restart, and the keys reset themselves to the scroll wheel going back and forward in the browser history. I followed all the steps for Breezy/Edgy, and I just can't honestly think of anything else to do. Running Xubuntu Edgy. If anyone has any insight or needs any information, please don't fret to ask. I'm about to put a hatchet through the side of my machine.



Cheers

[dremon]

Hello,

I have MX5000 bluetooth desktop (MX1000 mouse + keyboard), connected to the Acer laptop (which also has synaptic touchpad). The OS is Edgy. There are some problems I would really like to solve with your help.

In the /proc/bus/input/devices, there are 2 "Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver" names listed, one for the mouse (event4) and another for the keyboard (event3).
I've configured the mouse in xorg.conf via the {"Device" "/dev/input/event4"} parameter and it works, but....
Somehow, the keyboard started behaving very strangely. First of all, the extra buttons like "Email" and sliders like "Volume" do not work anymore. They were working perfectly before I added the evdev mouse device. Now, instead of doing any actions, these buttons cause X server to crash.
This crash does not occur however, if I disable the synaptic touchpad in the ServerLayout section, but the above mentioned buttons still do not work.
And another thing, the mouse stops working after suspending/resuming the laptop. I guess it is also a problem of evdev driver.

Thanks for any help.

[grantjohnston]

ttt. Anyone? It's rather irritating not having my scroll wheel anymore... :(

Is xbindkeys running?

Here's my ~/.xbindkeysrc:

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[w]""
b:8
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[t]""
b:9
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[r]""

b:13
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
b:14

[Bourlotieris]

See if you can figure out how to write a udev rule to give the mouse a consistent event#. Maybe this can help http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html . I haven't had a chance to do this myself, but I'd be glad to hear how it goes.

I used to use this as /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../name}=="Logitech USB Receiver", NAME="input/event9"

But as you can see that is only matching the name, which is meaningles.

If you can get that to work, then just use the event# instead of the name in your xorg.conf

After all this time I decided to give it a try once more. I wrote a udev rule which I placed in:
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules
The rule was:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Logitech BT Mini-Receiver", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c70c", SYMLINK+="input/mx1000"

So a symlink was created in /dev/input. What is the next step? What should I enter in the xorg.conf instead of the name? I tried:
Option "Name" "input/mx1000"
but x couldn't start. Should I do something else?

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Logitech BT Mini-Receiver", SYSFS{idProduct}=="c70c", SYMLINK+="input/mx1000"

So a symlink was created in /dev/input. What is the next step? What should I enter in the xorg.conf instead of the name? I tried:
Option "Name" "input/mx1000"
but x couldn't start. Should I do something else?

I think it should be Option "Device", not Option "Name". Also, I used to use "/dev/input/mx1000" but try your way too and see if it works.

Thanks for the guide. With it I've managed to get the buttons on a MX400 mouse working (It's basically a wired MX1000 without the task-switcher button.

I just have one question. Is there any way to switch tabs in firefox by tilting the wheel?

Sure, just use xbindkeys to catch button #(whatever it is for side scroll, use 'xev' to find out) and play the necessary keyboard shortcut like in the examples for "back" and "forward".

[jrib]

Alright, I'm about to ram my head through a wall. I had it working less than 20 minutes ago.. I go to restart, and the keys reset themselves to the scroll wheel going back and forward in the browser history. I followed all the steps for Breezy/Edgy, and I just can't honestly think of anything else to do. Running Xubuntu Edgy. If anyone has any insight or needs any information, please don't fret to ask. I'm about to put a hatchet through the side of my machine.



Cheers

The steps are a little different for breezy vs. edgy. Which one are you using?

kill xbindkeys and tell us what button numbers show up with the scroll wheel (use the 'xev' program for this).

Do you have an xmodmap pointer rule somewhere? Maybe ~/.xmodmap?

[grantjohnston]

Okay, I just found an old .xbindkeysrc (not sure from which distro, I've had dapper and edgy on this desktop) and it says




"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x0 + b:8
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x0 + b:9

"~/.click/click 4"
m:0x0 + b:9
"~/.click/click 5"
m:0x0 + b:10



When I scroll down on the wheel, it scrolls up on the page. However, when I scroll up, it still goes back in the browser history. Anyone?

scrolling up is 8


scrolling down is 9

k, well my mouse has 4 for up and 5 for down. What does this command return: xmodmap -pp

What does your xorg.conf look like?

[Bourlotieris]

I think it should be Option "Device", not Option "Name". Also, I used to use "/dev/input/mx1000" but try your way too and see if it works.

Tried that also (Option "Device" "/dev/input/mx1000") but X refuses to start. Any other ideas?

Option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection



in the mouse section, obviously. Any help?


Thanks again

yep, you definitely have an xmodmap pointer rule somewhere. I think I gave you the wrong location before. How about: ~/.xmodmaprc?

[jrib]

Tried that also (Option "Device" "/dev/input/mx1000") but X refuses to start. Any other ideas?

paste the relevant xorg.conf section and I'll try it here. That way it'll be easier to troubleshoot

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mx1000"
Option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection

...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Logitech MX1000" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

That is my xorg.conf after I make the changes and fails to start. The original one is:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Resolution" "2400"
EndSection

...


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

I can't really understand what was the point of writing a udev rule. Couldn't I just use the
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
of the original xorg.conf? Feels like I am missing something here.
