|
|
Mouse buttons 4 and 5 use to just work a few years ago but seemed to have stopped relatively recently. Using Code: | xev -event button | grep button | confirms that only buttons 1, 2 & 3 are received and nothing happens for buttons 4 & 5. I'm not sure why this suddenly stopped working. Can anyone else confirm that their mouse buttons 4 or 5 being detected? |

When I went to check a different mouse it worked as I excepted. Then I realized that my mouse was plugged into my KVM and after plugging it directly into the computer, buttons 4 & 5 worked normally!
Thanks for the help! |
