 |

Hi,
I've problems with a "Genius Ergo 8800" mouse. So far, it works great, but in Linux it seems to be in "Windows 8" mode. That is, the forward/backward buttons are registered as a separate keyboard device:
| Code: |
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Genius Ergo 8800 id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Genius Ergo 8800 id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
|
This way, the backward button triggers <Super><C> (I suppose to activate "charm" in Win8) and the forward button triggers <Ctrl><Alt><Tab> (or something like that to trigger some other functionality in Win8).
How can I get this working so the backward button is a real backward button and the forward button a real forward button? In Windows 7 and older Windows versions it is supposed to work like that.

Disabling the "keyboard" device does not help, the buttons are then no longer recognized; xev reports no button events.
Edit: Here is some additional info:

| Thanks, I have already solved this. If you press all three buttons 1-3 on the mouse, then it will switch into legacy mode with forward/backward buttons. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. |
