MX1000 mousewheel click

[smurfslover]

Hi i'm using a mx1000 laser mouse on pclos with the e17 desktop.
I can use all buttons i want, even could assign specific action to the side buttons in e17 except for one option.

Clicking my scrollwheel doesn't work, X is getting no input at all, 3 button emulation works as clicking left and right emulates a middle mouse click.

That is an odd xorg.conf. Mine does not generate any mouse entries.

I have three xorg.conf entries for the same mouse on different installations;

Mouse is a MS IntelliMouse USB/PS/2 Compatible. The same settings work for Logitech IR cordless mouse. All sets of instructions work the same, ie all buttons work as they should. These may have been generated by the nVidia setup tool. I'm not sure how they got there, and as long as they work, really don't care.

You might want to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as root, and try each, in turn to see if any one helps. Worst case, they don't and you remove them. Best case, one gets your mouse working right.

hmm i try it now manually to bind the section in xorg conf but this has no effect.

Did you log out, then back in, after each change? Maybe a full reboot? The X server has to be started with the settings in place, if they are to be sourced from xorg.conf.

Same here doesn't work none of them and restarted X after every change.
xev doesn't report anything when i click it.

Check your entries in /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf.

[root@littleboy ~]# cat /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf
IMWHEEL_START=1
IMWHEEL_PARAMS=-k

[smurfslover]

[jan@zenmini ~]$ cat /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf
IMWHEEL_START=1
IMWHEEL_PARAMS=-k

I know that makes the sidebuttons work on my logitech mx1000 but doesn't seem to help for the wheelclick.

try today again with the 3rd mouse button - all failed. I think Logitech MX devices are really NOT Linux compatible.
Anyone her who has full running Logitech MX?
