[SOLVED]Mouse with extra buttons

Post by zenacim »

Hello team,
I have bought a mouse with two extra buttons.
They have worked at the beginning without doing anything and then stopped
Could you please help me?
Thanks

Doubt that I can help. Re-boot? Reset or change mouse batteries? Re-connect mouse?

Can try mouse on a diff computer to see if it is mouse or computer?

Any trouble-shooting aids with mouse or from seller/manufacturer?

The number of replies to your question reflects the amount of information you have given. Is it a light fluffy one, or one of those grey ones? Seriously, Brand and model number of mouse, and inxi -fxd report will go a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG! way to helping others help you.

Whoops, my mistake try inxi -Fxd (note the captial F)
I'm not familiar with that brand of mouse and mr Google doesn't seem too informative either.
Are there any settings in Preferences that can affect it?

I have uninstalled imwheel and it works.
The thing is that small application helps me when browsing a webpage. Without this , I have to scroll a lot.
