HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide

[MilesTEG1]

Hello, does it function with the Logitech G5 ?
I have those lines with the cat /proc/bus/input/devices :

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c041 Version=4600
N: Name="Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 ts0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143

It should. You'll just need to set up xbindkeys differently.

Woa, now my mouse and keyboard are freezing up...any idea what could be happening?? It seems that whenever I try to apt-get or use adept they freeze and even when Im not they sometimes do. Any ideas? Maybe change my display driver from nvidia to nv?

[detyabozhye]

hmm, I never ran into that problem. You could try fresh installing on another hard drive if you have one and add modifications to your system one at a time to see which one is making your comp run weird and then remove it or replace it on your main install.

Hmm, the udev rule should work without ACTION="add", what was your

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

again?

Freshly run

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

=

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50e Version=2500
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1f.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

I will try to be on earlier tomorrow so maybe we could chat about it if needed, I'll try to get gaim working tonight.

And you have the udev rule set up right now and it still gives you event2, right? If so, the problem might be in the udev rule.

It should. You'll just need to set up xbindkeys differently.

How do I set up xbindkeys ?

[detyabozhye]

Well, for example, the G5 usually has button 8 do back. You would also need to change a setting for firefox to do horizontal scrolling, etc. But first you need to get the mouse working then find out the button numbers in xev before setting up xbindkeys.

OK my back/foward work in firefox but not nautilus. Did I do something wrong? When I use the standard keyboard shortcuts (ALT+left arrow), it works fine.

Also when I try to change the resolution by using:

sudo lmctl -8

I get this message:

001.002: 046d:c01d Unknown or Unsupported Logitech device
001.003: 046d:c30a Unknown or Unsupported Logitech device

I have a MX510 but other than these minor issues, I love my new ability in firefox.

[detyabozhye]

Most likely something is wrong in .xbindkeysrc. Can you post it here? and the xev output for your side buttons.

As for LMCtl, I might have to replace that with lomoco in the tut, I have to check it out first.
