Did you install from SVN?

[Brando569]

no i downloaded the source from the authors website and compiled it, i have a slight idea that the problem may be caused by my custom kernel, ill try the stock one and see if the same thing happens.

I've been messing around with BTNX so long, that I think I need to completely remove it to start over with these instructions.

How do I remove every trace of btnx on my system?

Edit: I've removed it completely, but am still looking for a solution for my MX Revolution

Has anyone found a solution for this yet ? According to xev my middle button is being detected as a KeyPress instead of a Button Press. This used to work in Gutsy.

KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 2961965, (124,136), root:(129,185),
    state 0x10, keycode 229 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
    root 0x253, subw 0x0, time 2961965, (124,136), root:(129,185),
    state 0x10, keycode 229 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I've got the same issue. Anyone seen a solution yet?

I don't know if this is an issue with FF3 or btnx but it's getting really annoying.

I have a Logitech MX500, along with the mouse wheel it also has PgUp and PgDn buttons which I have configured for just that. However in FF it seems to want to think that my PgUp command means go up a page and then back in history. Hitting PgUp on the keyboard does exactly what is expected.

EDIT:
I just check stuck with xev and when I press PgUp\PgDn I get a control codes, however I only get said control codes when I press the Mouse PgDn button, Mouse PgUp tells me ButtonPress on number 8.

I'm having a problem with btnx-config. I press "Detect Mouse & Buttons" and then press "Press to start mouse detection." I look at the terminal and see

Warning: no valid pipes from pid: xxxx

The xxxx is usually a four digit number that changes every time I run the app. The app also says that it could not detect any mouse handlers.

you have to run it like root, or $ sudo btnx-config

i've a different problem.
the first time the config stared well,
now no... i receive this message

root@acer:/home/giacomo# btnx-config 
/usr/share/btnx-config/btnx-config.glade
Warning: configuration file for configuration "Default" does not exist. Deleting configuration.
Aborted

what i should do to run it?
(one idea is use a working one?? can anyone post one? )

thanks

EDIT: solved looking here https://bugs.launchpad.net/btnx-conf...156/comments/2 , deleted dir, and reinstalled btnx

[sofficinifindus]

in my mouse (logitech nx80)
i've 2 buttons , setted like BTN_FORWARD and BTN_BACK
ok, they works fine in opera, but in firefox they works like right or left arrows (assigned at lateral scrolling gear)
in nautilus, they doesn't work...

anyone with this problem?
how you setted this kind of buttons??

many thanks

p.s. how can i put btnx in autostart at each session?

[GSZX1337]

Ugh, I can't seem to do anything right! I got btnx-config to detect my buttons and I set my preferred key combinations (Alt-Left and Alt-Right), I set the Event type to Key Combination, but the buttons won't do anything in Firefox. Before you ask, yes I did check enable.
