My button mappings however seemed to match those on the imwheel man page, namely:Īnd so i removed the -b switch from the imwheel command and everything worked! nf only specifies 7 buttons so im not sure where the extra 4 are coming from!!?Īnyway i decided i wouldnt remap any buttons so i issuedįrom looking at the imwheel manpage the -b switch can also be used to remap buttons and this was being used in the command that i had from the guides: This didnt work for me as i got the following error upon xmodmap: commandline:1: bad number of buttons, must have 11 instead of 7 This command swaps the button codes for buttons 45 with 67 and vice versa. The guides all talk about issuing the follwing command at startup (in the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/57xmodmap file) im not entirely sure why it works and the guides fail. Right i have done some more fiddling and come up with something that works for me. (i also have my laptops trackpad in the nf. I managed to get my side buttons to do the job of the mouse wheel scrolling but then my mouse wheel did nothing! Its obviously just a configuration problem but i cant seem to get it to work correctly even after multiple tweaks to the config. I have also tried the method using imwheel which gave some odd results. would changing the zaxis mapping to "3 4" just move everything up so that my side buttons were 6 and 7? This mapping seems a bit odd to me as it leaves button 3 and 7 for the side buttons on my mouse. I have updated my nf as above but my mouse buttons still dont work.Īs far as i can tell the buttons that do work are mapped as follows: My side buttons have never done anything so i thought i would give this a try. I have a IntelliMouse optical USB and am running Dapper. However, it probably won't be from me.I don't really know Linux too well. Post any questions, and with prayer, you will get a response. sorry KDEers):Īnd viola! Now your sidebuttons work!!! Test it out in firefox. Then restart Gnome (assuming that's your desktop. Its a feature for old mice, which Intellimouse is not: I would also recommend commenting the Emulate3DButtons line. Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #tells X11 which buttons to use for scrolling, 4 is up, 5 is down (i think) Option "Buttons" "7" #tells X11 the number of buttons on the mouse Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" #new explorer protocol.even works with usb mice Include, at least, the following lines in that section. replace 'vi' with 'gedit' for a presumably more familar feel to you newbies) (Use whatever editor you like vi is a personal preference. Then, open your nf, which, in most cases is in /etc/X11/:
#M310 mouse pointer strange trial
Through trial and error, I found out a very simple way to get these navigation buttons working like they should in applications like firefox. There was no quick and easy way to make this simple fix. However, these solutions went through more hassle than needed (ie imwheel.why?).
I searched these forums for help, and indeed I found some.
I had ubuntu for a while, and one thing that really bugged me was that I couldn't seem to get my USB Intellimouse to use it's side buttons for navigation.
