mouse: July 2007 Archives
I acquired a Logitech Revolution MX a few months back. I immediately fell in love, but I was having problems getting all the buttons to work under linux. I found a hack on the ubuntu forums describing how to enable some basic functionality. After going through that hack I had a middle mouse button again... Yay.
After running into a problem where my numpad doesn't output anything in KDE I grabbed a new keyboard. The new keyboard's numpad also didn't work. I began to suspect a configuration problem. After digging around I ran into a thread about BTNX and the MX revolution.
I installed BTNX and it works like a champ. I have not only my middle mouse button functionality (the search button), but I can use the thumb wheel, the left-right functions on the scroll wheel etc. Check out the forum entry at:
