| Great HOWTO guys, Used the xorg.cof in the first post and got it working perfectly, all I had to change was the protocall to auto instead of evdev. |

I put together some information on getting the MX1000 working with the new Xorg 6.8.99 snapshots, along with some other stuff.
Comments?

Yeah, I tried Xorg 6.8.99 and evdev just plain wouldn't work. You mentioned some dirty hacks Gentoo had applied in that regard - what's the story? Is it liable to work if I just "emerge xorg-x11" (having unmasked)?

Xorg won't magically work if you just emerge the new one and use your old xorg.conf. The gentoo hacks used the old mouse driver with an evdev protocol. The new xorg has an independant evdev driver. You'll need to read my guide and look at how the xorg.conf is set up now (it's simpler).

I tried compiling evtest.c and got this:
| Code: | toy root # gcc evtest.c -o evtest
evtest.c:260: error: `MSC_RAW' undeclared here (not in a function)
evtest.c:260: error: nonconstant array index in initializer
evtest.c:260: error: (near initialization for `misc')
evtest.c:261: error: `MSC_SCAN' undeclared here (not in a function)
evtest.c:261: error: nonconstant array index in initializer
evtest.c:261: error: (near initialization for `misc')
|
This is with kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and xorg 6.8.2-r1. How do I make this work?
My mouse works fine the way it is, I just want to play with this. |

Weird, I've got no idea. Did you download it directly, no copy and paste that could mess the syntax up? 2.6 kernel and headers?

Yes.
I clicked the link and Epiphany asked me what to do with it. I selected 'Save As' then opened a term window and typed 'gcc evtest.c -o evtest' and got those errors.
Kernel headers are 2.6.8.1-r2.
Thanks anyway, dude. |

I bought a MX1000 yesterday, and I edited the various files which I had used previously for my MX510. All of the buttons work except for the "change window button" (3rd thumb button) and the scroll wheel tilt right/left. Here's what I've got:
~/.Xmodmap
| Code: |
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5
|
/etc/X11/xorg.conf - the important part
| Code: |
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
|
.xbindkeysrc
| Code: |
# back and forward
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x10 + b:6
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x10 + b:7
# the change window button
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]w"
m:0x10 + b:8
# the up and down by the wheel pages up and down
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Page_Up]""
m:0x10 + b:9
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Page_Down]""
m:0x10 + b:10
# Left and Right on the wheel switch tabs
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Up]""
m:0x10 + b:11
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Down]""
m:0x10 + b:12
|
The 3rd thumb button (num. eight) is being recognized as a normal click as is scroll wheel left/right.
Another problem I'm having is with the cruise control buttons. xev recognizes them as if they were two buttons....
cruise down = button 5 + 10, cruise up = button 4 + 9
Thanks, any help would be greately appretiated. |

| For the problem with the cruise control buttons, go to Floam's website and follow the instructions to install 'lmctl' then issue the command 'lmctl --no-sms'. |

Thanks alot!! lmctl was in portage, emerged ran 'lmctl --no-sms' and the problem with cruise control is gone!!
but..... instead of being pag up/down it's just click. So as of the moment the buttons 8 - 12 behave as a normal click.
Any ideas?
[EDIT] How do you go about having the command 'lmctl --no-sms' be issued on boot automatically? Or does lmtctl remember from one boot to the next the options I set? |

Tell gcc to use the header files from the kernel sources. On my machine
| Code: | | gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include evtest.c -o evtest |
worked. |

The only thing I can tell you is to look at what I did to get it working and compare it to your setup.
With Xmodmap set to defaults, I tried the mouse in a few applications (particularly Epiphany) to see what buttons already had actions assigned to them then I used Xmodmap to map the actions to the proper buttons. When I did that two of the buttons lost their actions so I had to use xbindkeys to create actions for them and two more buttons.
Hopefully future versions of Xorg and applications will recognized all tilt actions and page-up/down (aka Cruise Control) actions by default so xbindkeys won't be necessary. |

Logitech's solution is "Upgrade to the latest version of Setpoint" which obviously isn't much use 
I can fix it by plugging it into the PS/2 port; movement is fine then. Unfortunately the side scrolling dies because none of the PS/2 protocols (I'm using ExplorerPS/2 atm) support more than 10 buttons. evdev just fails with a message about not being able to initialise the evdev brain - I'm guessing it just doesn't do PS/2?
Anyway, does anyone know a solution for the original issue, or a way to make it work fully with PS/2? |
Change your Xorg.conf ... took me a while but this works for me.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MX1K"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "PS2++ Logitech MX Mouse"
Option "Dev Phys" "isa0060/serio1/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "CorePointer"

Hm, hopefully this is the right thread to put this in.
I have a MX1000 mouse, but the DiNovo version with Bluetooth.
I have it connected no problem via my laptop's internal bluetooth system, and it comes up as /dev/input/mouse2 and /dev/input/event4.
However, a cat /proc/bus/input/devices give me this:
| Code: | I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0

H: Handlers=kbd event1
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f950d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff ffffffff ffffffff
B: MSC=10

P: Phys=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event4
B: EV=7
B: KEY=1f0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103
|
Where the last entry is my MX1000 mouse.
How can I get this working via evdev? Can I specify just "/dev/input/event4"?
*EDIT* Nevermind, I found the error completely elsewhere. Have a look here if you think you can help... |

Hi,
I used foams HOWTO and I got the MX1000 to work. The three "normal" mouse buttons work, vertical and horizontal scrolling also works. Cruise control works, there are inserted the two keycodes in between the cruise control keycodes, but that isn't annoying for me, so I don't use the fix.
My problem is that the mouse buttons on the left side (8, 9, 10; I think they are called side buttons) are mapped to a normal mouseclick. When I try to use xbindkeys, the keys seem to have the correct function, but everything takes very very long. I have to wait about 5-10 seconds for a response. If I click the bind keys multiple, I can freeze my X server (100% cpu time) and get ugly stuff on my screen, because the input is going to other applications. It looks really crazy (or funny?) 
Again: Without xbindkeys everything works fine, except the side buttons. With xbindkeys the side buttons work, too; but the response time is sucking the whole cpu time and takes really long.
I used floams HOWTO, this is my configuration:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
| Code: |
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", SYSFS{product}=="USB Receiver", NAME=="input/mx1000", MODE=="0644"
|
/etc/modules.d/usb
| Code: |
options usbhid mousepoll=1
|
/etx/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Logitech MX1000" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mx1000"
EndSection
|
My ~/.xbindkeysrc looks like this:
| Code: |
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x10 + b:8
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x10 + b:9
"xvkbd -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Up]""
m:0x10 + b:6
"xvkbd -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Down]""
m:0x10 + b:7
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[F5]""
m:0x10 + b:10
|
I really don't know why it is so slow...
EDIT: I use the modular xorg-x11 builds. |

I talked only about the Logitech MX1000 mouse. I tried to unset options usbhid mousepoll=1, but it doesn't seem to give any results.
I tried to work with xmodmap, but I get a very strange error:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5"
| Code: | xmodmap: commandline:1: bad number of buttons, must have 32 instead of 12
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
|
I didn't know so far that I have a mouse with 32 buttons Enough kidding, why does xmodmap say that I have to provide 32 buttons? |

I've exacly the same problem.
But I've discovered something:
| Code: |
karol@localhost ~ $ xbindkeys -n -v
displayName = :0.0
rc file = /home/karol/.xbindkeysrc
4 keys in /home/karol/.xbindkeysrc
min_keycode=8 max_keycode=255 (ie: know keycodes)
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
m:0x0 + b:8 (mouse)
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x0 + b:9 (mouse)
"xvkbd -text "\[Page_Up]""
m:0x0 + b:11 (mouse)
"xvkbd -text "\[Page_Down]""
m:0x0 + b:12 (mouse)
starting loop...
Button press !
e.xbutton.button=9
e.xbutton.state=0
"xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
m:0x0 + b:9 (mouse)
got screen 0 for window 136
Start program with fork+exec call
Button release !
e.xbutton.button=9
e.xbutton.state=0
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
^[[1;3CCatch CHLD signal -> pid 17550 terminated
|
And now xvkbd started by hand:
| Code: |
karol@localhost ~ $ xvkbd -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]"
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
|
Any ideas?

I've got the same problem !! any solution yet ??
I'm using xorg7 and gnome, and the mouse works, although the scrollwhell left/right doubles av back/forward in browser, as well as left and right, not very practical. And all the thumb buttons works as a normal button1 click :S |

I have the same problem too, but I'm using a MX510. There seems to be some problems in evdev together with Xorg7.0. I haven't found a good answer on the forum though.. Keep looking and report back if you find a solution?
I'm back to three buttons (+scroll) since I switched to xorg7, would be great to have it working when Americas Army 2.6 comes out for Linux. =)
