Drivers for logithech mouse

how many buttons and scrolls does this mouse have?

can you paste here xorg.conf file?

One scrol, but it works on the horizontal side too.

So here it goes

Left/Right/Center click (3)
Scrol up/down/left/right (4)
Zoom +/- (2)
Zoom 100% (1)
> and < (2)

TOTAL : 12

xorg.conf paste :

first you need to install evdev driver

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo apt-get install udev
sudo apt-get install logitech-applet

now type in konsole:
sudo logitech_applet --enable-cc

then type in konsole:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

you should see something like this;
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50e Version=2500
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:10.1-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143

remeber "event1" (in H line)

now in xorg.conf change this:
Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "mouse"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
 Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

into this:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MX1000"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
    Option "Buttons" "12"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"
    Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

of course if you have other event number remember to change Device option here

now insert into:
 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

this:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MX1000"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
    Option "Buttons" "12"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"
    Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

Done all that, restarted X - but the buttons aren't behaving as expected. Some of them act as a right click ...

The guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse works fine for me, take a look through it.

Adam,

Just did the whole thing. The mouse works, but not the special buttons. :(

ops, clicked the wrong button

Have you actually run 'xbindkeys' as well? (sorry, just had another look at the guide and noticed some of it is a bit 'small print' like)That should read the .xbindkeysrc file you created, and take care of 'special' keys, but not all in firefox. I have the thumb forward and back as firefox forward and back. The middle thumb as refresh, and the wheel left and right as left and right scroll. My .xbindkeysrc is...

"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Left]""
   b:8
"/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""
   b:9
"echo ButtonPress 4 ButtonRelease 4 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
   b:11
"echo ButtonPress 5 ButtonRelease 5 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0"
   b:12
"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[r]""
  b:10

In my xorg mouse section...

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "evdev"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9"
 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
 Option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection

Finally, in firefox about:config (<--enter that in address bar)

Change these settings for tilt wheel horizontal scroll

mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action = 0
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines = true

Don't just copy paste the xorg section, b ut just check the bits that are relevant against yours, since as I use it as corepointer, if it doesn't work, x doesn't start! Hope this info proves of some use.

Surely this warrants some attention from the dev team...

Users should not have to edit files and other gibble gobble to get a mouse working. It's easy enough to identify these mice, so whats the big problem with making them work "automagically" when they are plugged in???

That's my two bits worth, thanks for reading...

AnRkey :P

Well, to update the issue :

I've talked to the logitech guys, or better, I fought on the logitech email tech support.

at the end, I got this reply :

"Wladston, I am unsure if there is any contact point for you to escalate the matter to the higher management."

and

"Wladston, I do believe that Logitech does want you as a valuable client. If not, I won't be here to give support to you for all this while. However, it is just that Logitech is unable to provide all solutions to all customers. "

Logitech declares she is "unable" to make the device it manufactures work on linux.

Reported a bug, let's hope some nice dev. fixes that ...
