 Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2003 8:06 am Post subject: Side Buttons on MX500 - How to make them work? |
 |
|
So using mouse gestures in Firebird is beginning to bother me.
I have my MX500 all set up to use the scroll wheel and all that good stuff, but I haven't yet figured out how to use the side buttons, and they're not the same "buttons" as on a microsoft 5 button mouse -- so anybody want to clue me in as to how to make them work? I'd like to have the thumb buttons browse back/forward, and the "window" button show a window list like mouse3 does in KDE by default.
Thanks in advance!

I haven't tested this (yet), but maybe you can look the event codes with "xev" and attach these event codes with "xmodmap" to some keyboard events like arrow_up and arrow_down perhaps. Just a thought..
I have mx310 with those side buttons and have to try this when I get home.

Some testing..
Changed mouse driver to "ExplorerPS/2"
and gave these options (to XF86Config):
| Code: | Options "Buttons" "7"
Options "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" |
..and in X gave command | Code: | | xmodmap -e "buttons = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" |
MX310 has 8 buttons, 7 of them is now recognized by X.
button 1 = left mouse button
button 2 = right mouse button
button 3 = middle mouse button (pressing scroll wheel)
button 4 = left side button
button 5 = right side button
button 6 = scroll wheel up
button 7 = scroll wheel down
above configuration work like this: scroll wheel up and down works in vertical way, and side buttons horizontal way.
iClick button is recognized as button 1 by X.... limitation of ExplorerPS/2 driver?!

| I also have a MX310 mouse, but I can't get it to work, even if I take use of your examples. After kde 3.2 has been built, I'll try to plug the mouse in PS/2 port instead of USB. Let's see if that works. |
