Hello all fellow frustrated ones :wink:

I have a MS Optical Intellimouse USB. Moving around is no problem, the thing works fine but doesn't respond to the side buttons (Back, Forward in MS Windows) and the wheel isn't working well enough.

I have my XF86config mouse section looking like this:

Code:

   Identifier  "Mouse"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option       "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
   Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
   Option       "Buttons" "7"
   Option       "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
   Option       "Resolution" "1200"


This is my ~/.xsession:

Code:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
imwheel -k b "67" -p


Now, when I hover the mouse OVER a scrollbar, the wheel works. Within the application window, it does nothing.

Also, it seems that after i used ALT-Left or ALT-Right for Back an Forward in Konqueror the wheel works for a few seconds and then stops.

Strange!! Please, let me know if someone knows how to configure the thing so that everything works; that is: all 5 buttons and the wheel for scrolling.

Thanks in advance you guys!!

Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
    Option "Buttons" "7"
...


That's what I'm currently using. I don't have the side buttons activated.

I take it that you are using what is at http://www.deadman.org/X/xbuttons.html .

You might want to test out "xev" and see what happens.
