    So, I decided to try to make it work with ubuntu 7.10. Shut down XP and booted up into ubuntu, and....surprise, it works pretty darn well without doing anything at all. All the buttons and the wheel are functional, however the two little buttons don't function as page forward/back as they do in XP. The left small button functions as 'open in a new tab' in Firefox; the right small button functions as right click.

    So, I have a 5 button mouse that has left click, two right clicks, an open in new tab, and the wheel without doing anything at all.

    I think I'm pretty happy with it as is, so I might not try to change anything unless it becomes a limitation sometime in the future.
    This is the same thing that happened to me, using the above method made everything functional except for my wheel tilt.

    Thanks for this great tut! 2 Things:

    Unless there is an entirely new howto for Gutsy, perhaps it would be advisable to add a Gutsy section to the first post. The earlier version works swimmingly as well in gutsy (at least it did for me), but I suspect that the autodetect method is less complicated for new users.

    The other thing is a hopefully simple question: did any MX400 owners get lomoco to play nice with their mouse?

    Yeah, we need to make a new guide for Gutsy, but I personally don't have the time to do it anymore, so I don't know if I will do it.

    Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide

    Hello,

    This is my first message! Firstly thanks for this nice guide for my mouse. It works quite perfectly now! Quite, why? Well, if it is plugged in, it works perfectly. But if I switch on my laptop and my mouse is not plugged in, because for example, I want to use the touchpad, the graphic interface won't load anymore. Instead I have a blue page that let me diagnose the problem.
    How to solve the problem? Should I add something in my xorg.conf ?

    Here it is

    Most likely you need to change the "option corepointer" line to "option sendcoreevents true" (as it it appears for your touchpad just below your mouse section).

    This works perfectly for my mx518. Thanks so much!

    PS,
    I got the + and - keys to work by installing lomoco

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install lomoco

    Re: HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide

    Found a solution for wireless Logitech LX7.

    The following xorg.conf allowed xev to recognize the side buttons as buttons number 8 and 9.

    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
    	Identifier	"Logitech Wave Mouse" #The same as in Section "ServerLayout"
    	Driver		"evdev"
    	Option		"Device"    "/dev/input/event2" #from "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
    	Option		"SendCoreEvents"   "true"
            Option		"Name" "Logitech USB Receiver" #from "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
    EndSection
    The problem was that the side buttons did nothing, so I used xvkbd&xbindkeys solution described in the tutorial.
    I wasn't too happy about that though... I launched Enemy Territory and it recognized them both as KP_Equals or similar.

    The solution was then to:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install xinput
    xinput list
    xinput set-button-map "Logitech Wave Mouse-usb-0000:00:11.2-2/input1" 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12
    Where "Logitech Wave Mouse-usb-0000:00:11.2-2/input1" is copied from "xinput list" output.

    Now xev recognizes the buttons as 6 and 7 and everything works as it should.
    (I'm not sure if xmodmap could have done the same actually... I tried it and saw no effect - probably just misuse! )

    Nautilus doesn't go back/forward at the moment, so I think that you have to use xbindkeys as well anyway.
