Make sure to enable CONFIG_HID_ROCCAT in the kernel and fix that nvidia-settings generated file.

The "mouse" and "kbd" xorg drivers have not existed for many years now for amd64. They both should be libinput at best and evdev at worst.

A better solution is to copy that Device section to a /etc/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf file and move/rename the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file elsewhere.
This allows for automatic detection of other devices while reserving the video to the nvidia driver.

hi,

oh well i got INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in make.conf. should this be libinput then?

MaDDeePee,

Code: Select all

    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "MiddleEmulation" "true"

The first option says to map the middle button to 4 and 5, that's press and release.
The second option says that you have a two button mouse and pressing both buttons together 'emulates' the middle button.

Comment out the

Code: Select all

     Option         "MiddleEmulation" "true"

and try again.
You will need to restart Xorg.

Got it working with libinput and removing xorg.conf. Thanks!
