tyme Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I have a logitech marble mouse which is basically a trackball type of deal. it was 4 buttons, two of which are used to scrolling (Since it doesn't have the middle scroll button). i can't seem to get these two buttons to do scrolling. I've tried a few configs, specifically: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" EndSection and: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection neither result in the scroll wheels actually scrolling. I'm going to try a view variants and see if I have any luck. Anyone with any ideas please step forward ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I don't think you can use emulate three buttons and zaxismapping at the same time. Get rid of the three button emulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 still the same results with 3 button emulation off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 OK. Try "4 5" or "6 7", not all 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 the following sort of works: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" the only thing is, the button that's supposed to do "up" does "down" and vice versa. I've tried making it "7 6" instead of "6 7" with no luck. I can deal with this, but I'm going to see if I can find a way to get the buttons to go the right direction :) also, holding down the button doesn't create a "smooth scroll" type of reaction. not sure if this is possible or not.

Sarissi Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 When did the Marble Mouse gain 2 more Buttons??? The one I had, only had 2 buttons, and it was my first optical mouse, and saved me a bunch of money, cause I ground through 2 mice per month (mechanical).

tyme Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 mikewho: i'd plug it in usb, but all 4 of my USB ports are being used right now (although I'm about to free one up if someone buys my zaurus). I may try the USB method. thanks for the link. Sarissi: just recently I think. the display model where I bought it didn't even have the two new buttons, but the one I purchased did. so probably within the last year or less.
