Get all buttons working for Logitech MX 700

[illogic-al]

1) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf resp. /etc/X11/XF86Config

 

The relevant section is InputDevice

 

7 button bouse (e.g. MX Series):

 

Section "InputDevice"

Driver "mouse"

Identifier "Mouse[0]"

Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

Option "Buttons" "7"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"

Option "Name" "Logitech MX 700"

EndSection

 

Do not change your "Identifier," that is specific to your configuration. You should make sure you have "Buttons" "ZAxisMapping" and "Protocol" all set to the above values. IMPS/2 may work also, but even for "non-explorer" intellimice, ExplorerPS/2 should work fine. This is for USB mice also, PS/2 is just part of the name, it does not mean that you have a PS/2 mouse. There are seven buttons on what appear to be five-button mice: left button, right button, middle button (push down on scroll wheel), scroll up, scroll down, side button 1, side button 2.
