Hi everyone,
I was using uBuntu 12.10 for a while and decided to upgrade. The system upgraded first to 13.10 without any issue for the mouse. Then, one upgrade session more and I was up to date with 14.04 running.
The problem is now that my mouse is pretty messed up. I use a mouse which has 4 buttons plus a wheel, so a total of 7 virtual buttons. Basically, now, the right click is detected as being a wheelclick. xev returns that they have the same identifier : 2. So my right click has been moved to my backward navigation button (id 3) which has been it self move to the forward button (id 8).
So the situation is like this:
Button Name
Button Usual Function
Button ID with xev
Button current function
Button 1
left/main click
1
left/main click
Wheel click (2)
In browser: active scrolling function to just move the mouse to scroll.
2
In file explorer: open directories in new tab and open files directly like a double click. In browser: open links in new tab if on link otherwise, nothing.
Button 3
Right click
2
same as wheel click
Button 4
Previous/Backward navigation
3
Right click
Button 5 (scroll up)
scroll up
4
scroll up
Button 6 (scroll down)
scroll down
5
scroll down
Button 7
forward navigation
8
backward navigation
Is there any way to fix this? I have search a bit a found some xorg.conf tricks, but this doesn't seem to work in my case. Would it be related to the fact that 2 buttons are now detected with the same ID and one of the button has an ID out of range?
Thank you all
