HOWTO: Configuring Logitech mice in Ubuntu 6.06: New Guide

[thecheat]

Only having one problem. When you say:

Make sure you keep the quote marks, save the file and run "xbindkeys" in the terminal

I'm a total noob and don't know how to run that in terminal. Someone want to help me out real quick??

Go to Application->Accessories->Terminal, type xbindkeys in there, and hit enter.

Thanks for the advice. xmodmap wanted there to be 20 buttons.

The xev output remained the same for the buttons (from my last post above). Tilt left is button 11, tilt right is button 12. No key registers as 6 or 7. 8 and 9 are the side "forward/back" buttons on the left of the mouse. 4 is scroll up, 5 scoll down.

I notice you set 8 and 9 before 6 and 7 in the pointer line... should I try putting 11 and 12 there instead?

Thanks for the advice!

OK, try swapping 11 12 places with 6 7.
See if that changes anything.

I'll turn off lmctl and play a game and see what happens, but I'm sure this is why.

Okay that wasn't why. I commented out the lmctl line in /etc/init.d/local and rebooted, played a game and it was still freakishly fast. I'll put lmct back on in /etc/init.d/local.

How can I configure my 8th mousbutton to do Alt + Tab?

How can I configure my 8th mousbutton to do Alt + Tab?

Or better yet, bring up a window list?

[detyabozhye]

The most practical solution that I know of is to write a custom window list program and launch it with button 8.

Ok now everything works fine but one little thing.

I have a Logitech Elite Keyboard and it has a scroll wheel on it. Since messing with this it does not work. Is there a fix for that?

[detyabozhye]

Does it do anything in xev when you use the scroll wheel on the keyboard?

Hm, is there any way to map unknown buttons, so like if I had a button on my keyboard that has a keycode but no "name" so to say, how would I map it?

Oh and to the windows list, if you map alt_l and f5 to button eight that brings up a windows list, but if you have any windows up then it doesnt work for me...so like the only way that it works for me is if no windows are maximized.
