This is my xbindkeysrc in case this helps someone. I like having the center thumb button be control-w, which closes xwindow,firefox tab, whatever running in x — very convenient.

Instead of horizontal scrolling with the y axis of the wheel (which i rare use) i prefer to have my y axis be next and prior so that I can skip move between tabs on firefox/mozilla effortlessly.

And for buttons 4 and 5 that are above and below the scroll wheel i have that set to go up one page and down one page per click on the browser with the control-next and control-prior.

I’m having some trouble using the tilt left right buttons, this is my xorg configuration
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “MX1000”
Driver “mouse”
Option “CorePointer”
Option “Dev Name” “Logitech USB Receiver”
Option “Buttons” “12”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “11 12 10 9”
Option “Resolution” “800”
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “false”
EndSection

and my .xbindkeysrc
# Backward and Forward buttons
“xvkbd -text “\[Alt_L]\[Left]””
m:0x10 + b:8
“xvkbd -text “\[Alt_L]\[Right]””
m:0x10 + b:9

# “Cruise Control” disabled:
#”xvkbd -text “\[Page_Up]””
# m:0x10 + b:11

# m:0x10 + b:12

# “Cruise Control” enabled:
# Only use this if you have problems with Mozilla

Well, I have the same problem as Jason, and using the evdev protocol breaks X. And apt can’t find the package. Google seems to indicate that evdev involves USB devices — what would be the alternative if the mouse is hooked up through PS/2?

Should these instructions work for KDE also? I’ve got Suse 10 and haven’t been able to get the buttons working correctly yet.

I may be having the same problem as BorgHunter. I’m new to linux and just installed FC4. Whenever I set my Protocol to evdev, X does not start.
Here are the relevant portions from my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(**) Option “Protocol” “evdev”
(EE) Mouse0: Unknown protocol “evdev”
(EE) PreInit failed for input device “Mouse0”
(II) UnloadModule: “mouse”
(WW) No core pointer registered
No core pointer
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

here is my /proc/bus/input/devices:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c50e Version=2500
N: Name=”Logitech USB Receiver”
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:11.2-2/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143

here is my /proc/bus/input/handlers:
N: Number=0 Name=kbd
N: Number=1 Name=mousedev Minor=32
N: Number=2 Name=evdev Minor=64

I’m guessing that my handler should be event2 instead of event1. I think the problem may be that evdev doesn’t seem to be a module but is compiled into the kernel (modprobe evdev does not find the module). …no clue how to proceed from here. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been using these settings for my MX1000 for about 6 months now.
So far, they work pretty good, but I have a few problems if anyone wants to help.
Every once and a while, the mouse just suddenly stops working. When I had this problem in win64, I installed the driver for it and it fixed the problem (lol in windows i always forget it requires drivers cause sometimes stuff works anyway). So I look at the new xorg evdev which supposed to have better support, but it is masked, and I’ve tried unmasking and compile for 64 bit, but I don’t feel like it anymore. When the mouse stops working, sometimes X actually crashes and I have to reboot linux cause my keyboard stops too and cold/hotplug don’t even work whenI unplug and replug, so something is bad.
The only other problem I have, which is the one I think you can probably help with is when I scroll down the page in firefox, sometimes it sends a (page back) signal, causing the page to go back to the previous, meaning every time I instinctually scroll down, I am forced back to the last page. Sometimes I get annoyed and then I start justusing the right side scrollbar. I DO know that tilting the scroll wheel left should send that signal, but I am def not tilting left at all, and it still sends it every now and then. I would just like to turn off the left tilt and right tilt support for the mouse. Any ideas?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this matter, but I didn’t understand how to use xbindkeysrc, I got it through apt, but am I supposed to run it, or is it an editable text file? I didn’t find the .gnomerc folder in ~ , am I supposed to download something else?

…the udev script now works. I had an typo. sorry

hey thanx very very much this really worked for me… i did lots of bindings already since i don’t use the feature side-scrolling anyway.
for all you people who don’t have the evdev thingy or xorg says you don’t have it:

– your kernel needs it compiled in
so:
Device Drivers —>
Input Device Support —>
Event Interface

USB Support —>
USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
[*] HID input layer support

—————————————————————————-

recompile your kernel, and take evdev as driver and _not_ as protocol in your config. set protocol to auto. then reinstall the package with the xorg-evdev driver inside. for debian unstable this is xserver-xorg-input-evdev. then reconfigure this package (dpkg-reconfigure [package]) and restart x.

this should work by then.
it worked for me.

thanks for your help here!

fuck! just put “Event Interface” right into the kernel and not as module.
