Description Sergey V. Udaltsov 2004-11-27 07:30:53 UTC

Description of problem:
I plugged in Logitech MX 1000 mouse. Xorg server does not distinguish
some of its buttons. xev shows button numbers up to 5 - the side
buttons do not work. There is a discussion here:
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/print.php?articleid=46.
I tried the approach described there (writing 12 buttons and other
options into xorg.conf) - but found that protocol "evdev" is not
supported.

xorg server would need ability to work with "evdev" Protocol directly
(there are some patches mentioned on that page).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in Logitech MX 1000 mouse (USB port)
2. Configure xorg.conf to use 12 buttons 
3. xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 5"

    

Actual Results:  xmodmap says it only sees 7 buttons, so cannot map 12
of them

Expected Results:  swapping buttons 11/12 and 4/5

I've got the same or similar problems with a Logitech MX510. i can use up to
seven buttons using the ExplorerPS/2 protocol by adding 

Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" 

to xorg.conf, and using

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

to remap events. One extra problem i'm seeing that's not described here is one
of the "cruise control" buttons (button 4 or forward/upward scroll) produces
simultaneous ButtonRelease events. Pressing it gives ButtonRelease events for
both buttons 4 and 6.

I did have all buttons working as ecpected with the evdev patches while using
fedora's xorg 6.7.0. I've yet to bother adding them to fedora's xorg 6.8.1.
Having just purchased a Logitech keyboard that is also giving me trouble, i'm
hoping a driver(s) that can use the event interface will make it into upstream soon.

I came across http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1786 reported against a
Logitech mx500 mouse quite a while ago. Can anyone say where this problem
originates? Kernel input layer, or X input? That bug report seems to indicate
it's not a kernel problem, and it does go away using debian's evdev patches.

Use the evdev version 3 patch named  9000_all_6.7.99.2-lnx-evdev-core-v3.patch
