7 button mouse

haveanotherpuff · Post by **haveanotherpuff** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:41 pm

I have a seven button mouse,I have all them working properly except button 2 and 3 are reversed,button 2 instead of being the right click is now the scroll wheel click and vice versa,the wheel scroll as it should but the wheel click is acting as the right click should.

It is very irratating.

I have installed imwheel and edited zorg..conf like this,which I found in other post,but still no go::

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

Try changing your ButtonMapping option to this...

Code: Select all

Option "ButtonMapping" "1 3 2 6 7"

Close all apps and restart your X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace).

Any difference with the mouse buttons then?

Login on the text terminal, and then type this command:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Hope this helps ...

Thank you I just found something like that but for xfree was just going to ask what you gave,was also thinking about just using the live cd to see if i could edit it there but will try this first. thanks.

Option "ButtonMapping" "1 3 2 6 7"

Still the same buttons are reversed.

dpkg thing worked great though.Thanks

This somehow fixed it,only problem is is that when I rebooted the only buttons that worked were the right.left.and wheel,button,side buttons stopped.

echo -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5\n" > ~/.Xmodmap

echo -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 8 9 6 7\n" > ~/.Xmodmap

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 6 7"

I do not know what or why but all buttons are working this morning after a reboot,hopefully will stay working properly.
Thanks for everything.
