 |
|
hi,
i cannot count anymore the threads, howtos, tutorials, other resources on the net i read to be able to get my mice working completely with my inspiron 8600 notebook.
i got the following setup:
- notebook (dell inspiron 8600) with touchpad and glidepoint
- a logitech mx1000 (usb, 12 buttons)
- a logitech laptop mouse (usb, 5 buttons)
the goal:
to be able to use all mice with hopefully all buttons working.
my current xorg.conf sections look like this:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MX1000"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" #
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
Option "Resolution" "800"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "LogLap"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Server Layout"
Screen "Screen0"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "MX1000" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "LogLap" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

this makes all mice basically work. that means:
- i can move the mouse pointer with the touchpad, the glidepoint, the mx1000 and the logitech notebook mouse at the same time.
- vertical scrolling works with both usb mice, but only one when both are connected at the same time.
what is not working:
- all other buttons of the mx1000
- horizontal scrolling with the mx1000
- the speed of all devices is different; the touchpad is really slow, the glidepoint's speed is ok, as well as the speed of the logitech notebook mouse and the mx1000 is damn fast.
when i try to use xmodmap with this setup to get more buttons working, i get this:
| Code: |
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5"
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad number of buttons, must have 3 instead of 12
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
|
(the xmodmap command was suggested in several howtos)
so, this is what i want (in order of importance):
- get all buttons of the mx1000 working
- forward/backward functionality
- get horizontal scrolling of the mx1000 working
- setting normal mouse speed for all devices
plz, don't tell me to read the linux-gamerz howto etc, as i did and wasn't able to achieve the my goals.
i would be really happy if someone with a similar setup could post his configs or could help me in any other way to get this working.
thank you very much for any help!

ok, i tried this:
| Code: |
xsetpointer MX
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5"
xset m 1 1
xsetpointer LogLap
xset m 1 1
xsetpointer Touchpad
xset m 4 1
xbindkeys
|
| 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 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

problems with this:
* it seems to be impossible to set the mouse speed per mouse
* on several buttons i get 2 events, these are:
** thumb button down (2 and 6)
** thumb button in the middle (application changer) (1 and 8)
** the scroll buttons (9 and 2 for up and 5 and 10 for down)
* forward e.g. in mozilla works, but the back button doesn't. i think this is because of the 2 button events i get on the back button
* the side scroll buttons only generate keycodes and not button events
can anyone help me?
thx!
