How do you configure an Logitech MX700 mouse
I have a logitech MX700 cordless mouse and the scroll wheel and thumb buttons for back and forward on the web browser dont work. Does anybody know how to configure this mouse? I am using Suse 9.0 if that helps.
Mouse config
I am not sure about the forward and back buttons but to get the mouse wheel working you need to edit your XF86Config.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
add the following
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
This should get the scroll wheel working
:wink:
The only stupid question is the one never asked.
As you are using SUSE, better use Yast.
If you are using SUSE
I am using SUSE 8.2 pro and still had to do that. Yast did not enable the wheel.

As what is the mouse declared? (Any of the Intelli-Mouse settings?) Also are you running gpm on the console? (It might be a reason, as the default mouse emulated by gpm has no mouse wheel.)
Have a nice day!
The mouse I am using is an IntelliMouse
As far as GPM, I am not faimiliar with what that is so I couldn't tell you if it was running or not.
The only stupid question is the one never asked.
As root, try something like:
ps ax|grep gpm
If there is an output, you have gpm running.

I have a different mouse, but would also like to have my side buttons act as back/forward.
I've tried doing it with the shortcuts, but that only accepts keypresses. How do I do this?
(I used xev and it says my side buttons are buttons 6 and 7.)
I know there is IMWheel, but is there another way??
TIA
