ralph1976 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) added -p to mousexmodmap. wheel down / up is now "back" and "forward", and buttons do 1 back / 1 forward in text or icons... here my mousexmodmap: #!/bin/sh killall /usr/bin/imwheel xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" imwheel -p -k -b "67" everything works when: ralph@localhost ralph]$ killall /usr/bin/imwheel [ralph@localhost ralph]$ imwheel -p -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 WARNING: imwheel is not checking/writing a pid file, BE CAREFUL! An imwheel may be running already. Two or more imwheel processes on the same X display, or simultaneously using a wheel fifo, will not operate as expected!

aRTee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 So, you still have to do the commands by hand to get things working properly? Is your mousexmodmap file executable? try: [ralph@localhost ralph]$ .kde/Autostart/mousexmodmap and paste the output here. Oh, and if it doesn't execute, do: [ralph@localhost ralph]$ ll .kde/Autostart/mousexmodmap as I asked before. If it is not -rwxr-xr-x ralph ralph [more stuff here] especially the first rwx matters, .. you may have to make it executable: chmod a+x .kde/Autostart/mousexmodmap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) thank you so much, everything works now... the file wasn't executable. i just remapped 67 with 76 to my comfort and all works just fine now... and you said in mozilla (and firebird/fox?) it doesn't??? just one more question: which .imwheelrc is the one that is really needed: /home/ralph or /root ?

aRTee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 The rc is the one in your user account, the one in /root is only for when root is logged on graphically, and this imho should be NEVER. Sure, linux == choice, so you can, technically, violate this 'rule'.. In any case, wow, that was a lengthy problem; hmm, noticed that I didn't write on my website that that file should be executable, will add that soon. In moz/firebird, I don't think the thumbbuttons do back and forth. Correct me if they do.. And btw, read my sig and follow the instructions! And: enjoy linux! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) i'll give it a try and tell you afterwards... just if you have time: what do you mean by "graphically logging..."? i think for a newbie it's a lot easier to learn from someone experienced than just reading and searching... ...works fine with mozilla... don't know how to install firefox /-bird or thunderbird... (yet) Edited February 10, 2004 by ralph1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Agree on the learning; I learnt unix at uni, mostly with fellow students who were inquisitive and always finding out things about the system.. A bit of competition in the mix and lots of students had their own webpage up, just using a text editor -- that was in 93. It's a shame that not more people use linux, for those who just learn faster by observing.. "Graphically logging on" means: instead of logging on as user ralph, logging on into kde as user 'root'. This is a bad idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 i'm completely new to linux - thought something new wouldn't hurt for studying... but with all new things it takes some time to get used to it... do you think any further modifications would make firefox work also? see my post in: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=11497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
