    Re: HOWTO Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06 32 bit, based on endy's HOWTO

    Thanks I'll give that a try.

    EDIT: I tried that and now when I try starting gdm I get the error

    *** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption(fast): 0x082484a0 ***

    I went to recovery from the GRUB menu and it hung. It was at a part mentioning IPv6. I'm not 100%

    can someone help?

    Thanks

    Yes, thanks for pointing that out, fixed it.

    (edited for my configuration) will match both my keyboard and my mouse, as both of them use the same USB receiver (they are wireless, remember). I'm not familiar with udev rules: is there some other criterion I could use to distinguish the keyboard from the mouse? Or is it possible to use
    Code:
        Option        "Dev Phys"        "usb-*/input1"
        Option        "Device"          "/dev/input/ts0"
    instead of /dev/input/mx700, like for Breezy?
    I think it should work without udev like in Breezy, but I had the input number change once while using Dapper Beta, and it made my X crash at startup, so I used the udev rule. Honestly, my knowledge of udev isn't so great either, so I don't know how you would distinguish the keyboard and mouse with it.

    How can I get to know the "action"?
    For example I want to run minimalize firefox with my thumb button. Where can I find the code for action "minimalize"?

    Thanks for help!
    First you must find out which command does minimize in you window manager settings (GNOME: System->Prefrences->Keyboard Shortcuts, XFCE: Xfce Menu->Settings->Window Manager Settings->Keyboard, etc.)

    Mine is Alt+F8

    So I would change whichever thumb button I want to fo the minimization in my .xbindkeysrc to this:
    Code:
    "/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[F8]""
      m:0x0 + b:6 #replace 6 with whichever button it will be

    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"

    Option "Buttons" "10"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection

    I read that using careful ZAxisMapping you don't need to use xmodmap

    Thanks

    Your device option is also incorrect, try changing it to:
    Code:
       Section "InputDevice" 
           Identifier "Configured Mouse" 
           Driver "evdev"
           Option         "CorePointer" 
           Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver" 
           Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:02.0-3/input0"
           Option "Device"   "/dev/input/event3"
       EndSection
    If that doesn't work, try without the "Dev Name" and "Dev Phys" options

    ZAxisMapping doesn't have any effect on the current evdev driver.

    Re: HOWTO Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06 32 bit, based on endy's HOWTO

    For those who like to use the thumb button to open and close tabs (middlebutton) in Firefox, the mapping for a Mx310 is:
    pointer = 1 3 6 4 5 10 9 2 7 8 11..

    How can I make the scroll wheel go a page at a time instead of the 3 or so lines it goes now?

    Re: HOWTO Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06 32 bit, based on endy's HOWTO

    Used a live CD to edit the udev rules (i.e. remove them) as recommended by friend. No luck. Then edited xorg.conf back to the old "no evdev" configuration. Worked like a charm.

    I guess evdev just isn't for me. If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great.

    Thanks

    So I would change whichever thumb button I want to fo the minimization in my .xbindkeysrc to this:

    Thank you for your answer. However it still doesn`t work

    I have the same command (in GNOME: System->Prefrences->Keyboard Shortcuts) as you: ALT+F8.

    I have got a Logitech mouseman Dual optical with 6 buttons (wheel = 2 buttons -up and down) connected in USB.
    I have done all the things which are described in the guide (edited files: xorg.conf, 19-local.rules, .Xmodmap, .xbindkeysrc).

    Then:
    - when I run xev and press my thumb button it says:

    ButtonPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
    root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2913354372, (65,104), root70,892),
    state 0x10, button 6, same_screen YES


    - then I run "xbindkeys" in terminal and looking forward to working thumb button but i does nothing

    - I run xev again and press my thumb button again and now it says:

    EnterNotify event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2913518473, (87,96), root165,191),
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor, same_screen YES,
    focus NO, state 16


    KeymapNotify event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys: 76 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0



    **xorg.conf**
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouseman" #this should be that underlined name from 19-local.rules
    EndSection

    **/etc/udev/rules.d/**
    KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{../name}=="Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse", NAME="input/mouseman"

    **~/.Xmodmap**
    pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

    **~/.xbindkeysrc**
    "/usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[F8]""
    m:0x0 + b:6 #replace 6 with whichever button it will be

    IMPORTANT:
    I should mention there isn`t any xvkbd file in "/usr/X11R6/bin/". There is only "X" file.
    Then I look for "xvkbd" in nautilus it finds: "/etc/X11/app-defaults/XVkbd" It is the only XVkbd file I have on my harddisk.

    So, I hope it`s enough. Would you be so kind and help me with that problem? When I can not use my thumb button I feel like without one finger

    Thx!!

    Re: HOWTO Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06 32 bit, based on endy's HOWTO

    OK, I remember now! With some updates, the path to xvkbd changed. Replace
    Code:
    /usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd
    with
    Code:
    /usr/bin/xvkbd
    Edit: Fixed the HOWTO.
