hid & usbmouse conflict with each other. Use either one or the other, not both.
Check the manual:

I can't get X to work properly yet at all, but when I try to setup the mouse, I don't have usb-uhci or usbcore modules. Can someone tell me where these are in the kernel menuconfig? I do have input, hid and mousedev.
Thanks.

| Code: | bash-2.05b$ imwheel -k -b "67"
WARNING: imwheel process could not be verified, it may not be running anymore, that's OK!
: No such file or directory
WARNING: imwheel pid file could not be removed.
Perhaps you want the -p option.
Or SUID root the imwheel executable...
: Operation not permitted
ERROR: Couldn't write pid to pid file
Perhaps you want the -p option to avoid this...
Otherwise you may SUID root the imwheel executable.
: Permission denied |
How do I "SUID root the imwheel executable"?
It turns out that "chmod 4755 /usr/bin/imwheel" worked perfectly. I solved my own problem :p
This method of doing it worked much better for me than using the -p option of imwheel.

| I had the problem of the side buttons scrolling up and down the screen. If you make a ~/.imwheelrc, it will actually use your settings. |

Now if you read that script, you will see that for system-wide use of the 7 buttons with the wheel working properly, you need to make a file called /etc/X11/Xmodmap in which u put this line:
| Code: | | pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 |
|
Muchas gracias! I wrestled with this problem once before, but never figured out a solution. I was trying to modify my init scripts instead of pay attention to what they were actually doing.
This solved my problem, my wheel and side buttons are working as designed (although I have yet to try IMwheel). Thanks again!

Just wondering, why dont linux programmes write programs that use thes buttons nativly. I mean they've been around for several years now, and the only way to use them is through these "hacks".

I've followed the instructions to a T with my Intellimouse Optical. When I booted to fluxbox, it worked perfectly, but when I reboot into gnome or kde, the thumb buttons are acting how the scroll should, and I can't tell what the scroll-wheel is doing (it does do something, but it doesn't seem consistant).
Any suggestions? |

Here is another "Now what?" post... I have followed all the steps exactly, edited my .xinitrc and imwheelrc file. Thumb buttons act as up/down buttons, and scroll wheel only works when I'm directly over the scroll bar (and it doesn't even do it in all applications--just some). In Mozilla Firebird it doesn't do anything at all. Something is wrong with my IMWheel config? I added the ".*" config in to the file (I didn't remove anything else though -- should I?)

How do I configure the left thumb button to be the enter key? Is this possible?
Edit: MS Intellimouse Optical  |

|
|
Certainly!
To make the thumb button perform an <enter> keystroke, you would need something like this in either your /etc/X11/imwheelrc or your ~/.imwheelrc:
| Code: | "^GnomeTerminal"
None, Up, Enter |
Replace "^GnomeTerminal" with whatever application you want to do it in. "None" is the modifier key (e.g. Control_L would be press thumb button while holding the left control key), "Up" is the mouse button you want to use, since I run imwheel like this:
| Code: | | # imwheel -p -b "672" |
(6 = the big thumb button, 7 = the little thumb button, 2 = middle button)
imwheel assigns the buttons you specify in this order: Up, Down, Left, Right, Thumb1, Thumb2. So, Up = big thumb, Down = little thumb, Left = middle.
Hope this helps (btw, you can find way more information in the manpage for imwheel).
Blackace.

Sure, just use an entry in your .imwheelrc file like this:
| Code: | | None, Thumb1, Alt_L|Tab |

I have edited my XF86Config correctly
| Code: |
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Resolution" "100"
|
but when i try to xmod map i get an error...
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad number of buttons, must have 5 instead of 7
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
|
is there something else i should have done??

I would assume that you have restarted X in between those two steps ?
Other than that, I don't see anything offhand...
Sorry,
Blackace.

The weird part is that I don't have usbmouse on modules.autoload, but the system loads it by it's own. At first (without usbmouse), my mouse wouldn't work at all, so while recompiling the kernel, I added usbmouse as a module just in case I needed it to play with the modules. Also, if I rmmod usbmouse, my Intellimouse Explorer stops working. Weird, huh? |

Just to confuse this topic even more - https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=64701
I don't use IMwheel at all, I have the mouse working fine in Gnome 2, it scrolls etc just as I need it.
I haven't mapped any buttons to the thumb buttons, but then I don't generally use those on the desktop, mainly in games like Q3  |

okey, both my scroll wheel and thumb button works now,
tho the scroll wheel isn't as smooth as it was when X was handling it.
is there a way to set the "smoothness" in imwheel ?
Logitech Mouseman Dualoptical (6 buttons):
| Code: | xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 4 5"
imwheel -k
|

Have you tried the 'Resolution' setting for XF86Config ?
| Code: | | "Option" "Resolution" "3000" |
Or something similar depending on what works for your mouse.... |

isn't that for the cursor ? i want to adjust the smoothness for the scroll wheel.
when scrolling now it goes like 30 lines, and when xfree was handling the scrolling it went 5-10 lines.
read on the forums about using imwheel -k -b "56", tho it dosen't work, been trying all sorts of combinations.

You would have to read through the docs for imwheel, I have no idea since I don't use it. |
