correction: NOT-Fixed : Logitech MX 1000 question

[Merlijn]

Can someone please tell me how to get rid of the rocker support? It drives me up the wall because it activates often, very often if i wheel click a link to open it in a new tab.
I had all other functions working, but suddenly the buttons on the left of the mouse don't do back and forward anymore, but the rocker does... ARGG
It should be something in the xorg.conf file i guess but there is where i get stuck..
Sorry for the silly question, but i also can't get the MX1000 options in the System settings>keyboard & mouse working, any suggestions for that problem?

Thanks, a real Linux beginner (and loving it, have not booted windows in 2 weeks now)

Fixed, changed line in xorg.conf:

#option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"

By putting the # in front, the problem is gone.. Whew what a blessing! And as a bonus the side buttons started working like they should.

After a day, it stopped working WTF? rocker won't work (YES!) but back and forward buttons on left side of mouse don't (sad cry)

S.o.s.

Go check that, make sure it's still commented out.

If it is, post (or attach) your xorg.conf (or at least the relevant parts).

It (the correction), is still there, here is the xorg.conf part.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MX1000"
Driver "evdev"
option "Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
#option "HWHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection

Odd, you seem to be missing a few entries. Here's mine:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "mouse"
 option "CorePointer"
 option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
 option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
 option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

You might want to add a "Buttons" option, specifying the number of buttons your mouse has. For example, my mouse has left and right buttons, a scroll wheel ant two buttons below the scroll wheel. This makes seven buttons: four normal, wheel up, wheel down, and wheel click. It'd look like this: "Option "Buttons" "7"".
