fdany Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Bonjour it's impossible with the mandriva 2008.0 to have the two thumb buttons of my mouse working. All the previous solutions are inoperant. Help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Which mouse model? And please, paste here the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf - maybe not all of it- just the parts starting with Section "InputDevice" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdany Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 it seems the kernel recognises the mices with 7 buttons and the scrolling functionned out of the box (no zaxismapping needed) but the buttons 8 an 9 are ignored. With previous kernels I used zaxismapping and xmodmap and all functionned. I have tried a lot of combinations but none of them gave me the before and forward action on my thumb buttons. My xorg.Conf actually is Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection the mouse is a Trust ami mouse 250SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdany Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 The only way I found is using xvkbd and xbindkeys with the following lines in my .xbindkeysrc : "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]"" m:0x0 + b:8 "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]"" m:0x0 + b:9 All better solutions are welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Are there other mice configured like this?: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse2" Driver "evdev" Option "bustype" "0x0003" Option "relBits" "+0+1+2" Option "product" "0xc517" Option "vendor" "0x046d" Option "HWheelRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6" EndSection if so try commenting out the lines Option "relBits" "+0+1+2" and change Option "XkbModel" to "evdev" Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "us(alt-intl)" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" EndSection Edited October 14, 2007 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdany Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse2" Driver "evdev" Option "bustype" "0x0011" Option "relBits" "+0+1+2" Option "product" "0x0006" Option "vendor" "0x0002" Option "HWheelRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6" EndSection I defined Mouse2 as CorePointer but it seems that it's no difference. The comment of relBits and the change of Xkbmodel has no visible effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should have left it InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
